git - Determine when a line was modified in a file -
in git repository used many people, found code code i'm interested in, it's not fleshed out.
i have no way of knowing whether recent or old change, hesitate browse through commits on file.
is possible find when line of code appeared in repository can talk original person posted it?
this perfect case git blame.
as per man page
annotates each line in given file information revision last modified line. optionally, start annotating given revision.
you can use follows
git blame -- filename optionally (advisable, i'd say) can output result on file
git blame -- filename > blame.out and open file editor supporting git blame syntax. use instance sublime text 2.
other tips comments:
git gui blame -- filename will start basic gui interface, can helpful.
also
git blame -l 42,+1 -- filename will show line 42, in case interested in specific line.
