Questions tagged [blame]

Blame is the annotation of source code showing who last edited each section or line.

Blame is the annotation of source code in a revision control system with metadata indicating the most recent commit that changed a particular section or line of code. The information typically includes a commit id, the identify of the user who made the change, and the timestamp of the change.

Commands for various revision control systems include:

  • RCS: (no such command is available)
  • CVS: cvs annotate
  • Subversion: svn blame (aliases are svn praise, svn annotate, svn ann)
  • Git: git blame (git annotate is similar but uses a slightly different output format)
  • Mercurial: hg blame (alias hg annotate)
