The core functionality behind git last-modified was written by GitHub over many years (originally called blame-tree in GitHub’s fork of Git), and is what has powered our tree-level blame since 2012. Earlier this year, we shared those patches with engineers at GitLab, who tidied up years of development into a reviewable series of patches which landed in this release.

The free software ethos at its finest, this is enough to make a grown man cry 🥹

Their stance on open source is really questionable, I just can’t buy their excuses when there’s so many counterexamples out there of both keeping their software actually open/libre and with a revenue stream

A tool would actually be so good to have, it’s such a common thing that we don’t even think about it much. You sparked my curiosity so I tried to search if there was one and it seems there is a project out there: loganon, though it’s long dead unfortunately

Help, why does this picture feel like it’s ever so slightly tilted?

Hmm yes, web dev horrors beyond my comprehension!
