<div class="paragraph"><p>Annotates each line in the given file with information from the revision which
last modified the line. Optionally, start annotating from the given revision.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The command can also limit the range of lines annotated.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The origin of lines is automatically followed across whole-file
renames (currently there is no option to turn the rename-following
off). To follow lines moved from one file to another, or to follow
lines that were copied and pasted from another file, etc., see the
<code>-C</code> and <code>-M</code> options.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The report does not tell you anything about lines which have been deleted or
replaced; you need to use a tool such as <em>git diff</em> or the "pickaxe"
interface briefly mentioned in the following paragraph.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Apart from supporting file annotation, Git also supports searching the
development history for when a code snippet occurred in a change. This makes it
possible to track when a code snippet was added to a file, moved or copied
between files, and eventually deleted or replaced. It works by searching for
a text string in the diff. A small example:</p></div>

<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
number

<dt class="hdlist1">

<dd>
<p>
Show raw timestamp (Default: off).

<dt class="hdlist1">
-S <revs-file>

</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--reverse
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
START.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
-p
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">

<dd>
<p>

<dd>
<p>
Show the porcelain format, but output commit information for
each line, not just the first time a commit is referenced.
Implies --porcelain.

<dd>
<p>
Specifies the encoding used to output author names
and commit summaries. Setting it to <code>none</code> makes blame
output unconverted data. For more information see the
discussion about encoding in the <a href="git-log.html">git-log(1)</a>
manual page.

<dd>
<p>
When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
<code>-</code> to make the command read from the standard input).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--date <format>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The value is one of the following alternatives:
{relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}. If --date is not
provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
iso format is used. For more information, See the discussion
of the --date option at <a href="git-log.html">git-log(1)</a>.

<p>
Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
A), the traditional <em>blame</em> algorithm notices only half of
the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
running extra passes of inspection.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p><num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
commit. The default value is 20.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-C|<num>|
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
In addition to <code>-M</code>, detect lines moved or copied from other
files that were modified in the same commit. This is
useful when you reorganize your program and move code
around across files. When this option is given twice,
the command additionally looks for copies from other
files in the commit that creates the file. When this
option is given three times, the command additionally
looks for copies from other files in any commit.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p><num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
<code>-C</code> options given, the <num> argument of the last <code>-C</code> will
take effect.</p></div>

<p>
Include debugging information related to the movement of

This is the number of alphanumeric characters detected
as having been moved between or within files. This must be above
a certain threshold for <em>git blame</em> to consider those lines
of code to have been moved.

<div class="paragraph"><p>The porcelain format generally suppresses commit information that has
already been seen. For example, two lines that are blamed to the same
commit will both be shown, but the details for that commit will be shown
only once. This is more efficient, but may require more state be kept by
the reader. The <code>--line-porcelain</code> option can be used to output full
commit information for each line, allowing simpler (but less efficient)
usage like:</p></div>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike <em>git blame</em> and <em>git annotate</em> in older versions of git, the extent
of the annotation can be limited to both line ranges and revision
ranges. When you are interested in finding the origin for
lines 40-60 for file <code>foo</code>, you can use the <code>-L</code> option like so
(they mean the same thing — both ask for 21 lines starting at
line 40):</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git blame -L 40,60 foo
git blame -L 40,+21 foo</code></pre>

<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git blame -L '/^sub hello {/,/^}$/' foo</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>which limits the annotation to the body of the <code>hello</code> subroutine.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When you are not interested in changes older than version
v2.6.18, or changes older than 3 weeks, you can use revision
range specifiers similar to <em>git rev-list</em>:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git blame v2.6.18.. -- foo
git blame --since=3.weeks -- foo</code></pre>

<div class="paragraph"><p>When revision range specifiers are used to limit the annotation,
lines that have not changed since the range boundary (either the
commit v2.6.18 or the most recent commit that is more than 3
weeks old in the above example) are blamed for that range
boundary commit.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A particularly useful way is to see if an added file has lines
created by copy-and-paste from existing files. Sometimes this
indicates that the developer was being sloppy and did not
refactor the code properly. You can first find the commit that
introduced the file with:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>git log --diff-filter=A --pretty=short -- foo</code></pre>

lines touched by more recent commits first (i.e. the lines will
be annotated out of order) and is meant to be used by
interactive viewers.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The output format is similar to the Porcelain format, but it
does not contain the actual lines from the file that is being

<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">

Each blame entry always starts with a line of:

The first time that a commit shows up in the stream, it has various

Unlike the Porcelain format, the filename information is always
given and terminates the entry:

<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>"filename" <whitespace-quoted-filename-goes-here></code></pre>

there is ever added information (like the commit encoding or extended

<div class="paragraph"><p>In the simple form, each line in the file consists of the canonical
real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the

<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code><proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx></code></pre>

<div class="content">
<pre><code>Proper Name <proper@email.xx> <commit@email.xx></code></pre>

<div class="content">
<pre><code>Proper Name <proper@email.xx> Commit Name <commit@email.xx></code></pre>

<div class="content">
<pre><code>Jane Doe <jane@desktop.(none)>
Joe R. Developer <joe@example.com></code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note how there is no need for an entry for <code><jane@laptop.(none)></code>, because the
