#git-blame

Toggle git-blame annotations for the current file in the gutter of atom editor.

Usage

Toggling the gutter

There a few ways to toggle the git-blame gutter.

Right Click

Right click the file you want to blame. Select Toggle Git Blame options from the dropdown.

Keyboard Shortcut

Show git blame for the currently active editor with the command ctrl-b. An editor pane is active if the the cursor is blinking on it.

Submodules

Submodules? No problem, git-blame should take care of that.

See the revision diff

Click on the revision hash in the gutter to be taken to the configured repository visual diff. See setting a custom remote repo url section below for support beyond bitbucket and github.

Options

Ignore White Space Diffs

If this option is selected, the git blame command will be run with -w option.

Show Only Last Names

If this option is selected, only the last word of the author's name will be displayed.

Date Format String

Default date format is YYYY-MM-DD. This feature is backed by moment.js. Any formats supported by moment are valid here.

Setting a Custom Remote Repo Url

This plugin will first check to see if your repo is backed by Github or Bitbucket so nothing is required if your repo is hosted on one of these.

If its not, you can easily set a custom revision URL string like so:

• From the settings view go to settings for this package Git Blame
• Check the box for "Use Custom Url Template If Standard Remotes Fail"
• Set your url format string in the box labeled Custom Commit Url String

The URL string should contain the following three placeholder variables wrapped in underscore template delimiters like so: <%- variable %>.

• project - Will be replaced with the name of the project in your remote git repository. For this repo it would be alexcorre.
• repo - Will be replaced with the name of the repository. For this repo it would be git-blame.
• revision - Will be replaced with the full git revision hash you clicked on.

I'll use github as an example. Its already supported out of the box, but if it wasn't its custom url string would be:

https://github.com/<%- project %>/<%- repo %>/commit/<%- revision %>

So when you clicked on hash revision 12345 in this git-blame repository, you would visit the following url:

https://github.com/alexcorre/git-blame/commit/12345
