GIt Blame inline

[holtkampjs]

Suggestion

In popular editors like VSCode, one feature I enjoyed (while it sometimes muddied up the visual field) was inline git blame annotations

I.E.

Helix is my daily driver and sometimes I think it would be beneficial to have blame to see the last time a line was touched and by who.

Not as relevant

The reason I am submitting this enhancement is because I had recently been using git blame [filename] in my CLI and was just frustrated by the overwhelming/non-customizable output I was seeing (NOTE: I am aware various parts of the output such as hash length, email, and date-time format can be customized). I was just wishing I could view it in a more context friendly view.

My initial reaction was to attempt a bash script to customize what I see using git blame ... | awk '...' | bat -l <language> and my alternative being to write it in a more organized manner in some language (e.g. Zig, Rust, Python, etc.). Through thinking about this, I realized that it may be more wieldy to push for the feature in the tools I use already i.e. this (helix) or bat.

Thank you for consideration.
