So I really like the File Viewer in Git GUI. It shows me, in the two columns on the left, the original commit that created any line, and which commit last moved it. I can click on those hashes and move through history just like this, and it's really cool. Granted there isn't any syntax or semantics coloring in the text view, but it's great to be able to navigate through the history.

How can I ask for this to be opened from Git Bash for a specific file ?

Are there similar tools that I could launch from Git Bash ?

I also use Qt Creator as an IDE, and it offers the possibility to "git blame" the current file, but 1. this only shows the last modifier of any line (so strictly the git blame output), not the original committer vs. last moved

enter image description here

and 2. doesn't really allow you to navigate (when you click on the hash it takes you to a view of the log entry for that hash, not to the same file at the same location with the "git blame" info at that time).

enter image description here

Does Qt Creator have something like the Git GUI File Viewer that I am not aware of ?

Thanks in advance.

  • Someone thinks, your question is likely to lead to opinion-based answers. Maybe, you can a bit modify it somehow to improve existing question. – invzbl3 Nov 15 '22 at 13:54
