Help

  • Documentation

Basics

  • Double click status blame to switch from short form or long form.
  • Optimized for small screens so only one pane is used for log display.
  • See blame for any file in the editor, not just the files in the workspace.
  • Blame is processed on file open, optionally on save, and cleared on close.
  • Optional inline, status, or hover blame. Left by popular demand. Right too.

Extras

  • Heatmap visualization, line, and file history.
  • Interactive diff with command clickable location.
  • .gitblame files open commits online at different urls.
  • Editor button for all previous changes and interactive search.
  • Includes some commands, settings, and menus available to explore.
