git-blame: Print file with author name and commit hash on each line before a specific commit.
$ git blame ${commit}~ ${filename}
try on your machine
The command git blame ${commit}~ ${filename} is used to view the commit and author information for each line of a specific file in a Git repository.
Here's how the command breaks down:
git blame: This command is used to show commit and author information for every line in a file.${commit}~: This specifies the commit hash you want to blame.${commit}~means to blame the commit before the specified commit, so it refers to the previous commit before${commit}.${filename}: This is the name of the file you want to blame.
By executing this command, you will get the commit hash, author, and the date of the previous commit (${commit}~) for each line of ${filename}. The command is particularly useful for identifying who last modified a specific line of code, or investigating the history of changes to a file.
