A visual guide explains what git blame does and why it matters: it shows the last commit, author, date, and message for each line in a file.
The post walks through the core use cases—debugging, code review, onboarding, and auditing—then shows common flags like line ranges, --porcelain, -w for ignoring whitespace, and --summary. It also includes a practical tip: press q to exit blame output in the terminal.
