magit-blame-color-by-age

A small package to color-code magit-blame headers and the fringe by age.

Screenshots

Full heading color

Note

Large files with deep commit histories take some time to fully git-blame. Magit's "quick start" shows visible blame headers quickly; these will be re-colored as the full blame completes.
