README
git-spelunk
This is git-spelunk, an interactive tool for exploring blame history.
Install with gem install git_spelunk
(requires Ruby 2+).
Huh?
git blame
is a great tool for determining code responsibility. But sometimes when you
fire up git-blame, you'll find yourself in a loop of git-blame
, git-show
, and then
git-blame
again in order to find the true owner of a line of code.
git-spelunk
is the tool for situations like this, when you want to
skip past syntactic and refactoring commits to find the true owner of a line, or see how
a piece of source code has evolved over time.
Guh?
It's easier to show you.
git spelunk lib/git_spelunk/offset.rb
[git spelunk, main page](images/screenshot_1.png)
You can see we've highlighted line 45. git-spelunk
here is telling us that this line was introduced
in commit 33465d2. You can also see that all other lines that were involved in 33465d2 are picked out
in green. The output of git show
is present as well for adding more context to the information.
Now we press '['. What we're asking here is "show me the file just before 33465d2" was introduced,
essentially replacing the content of the current screen with git blame [file] 33465d2~1
.

There's other stuff to do; you can hit "s" to do a git show
of the commit underneath the cursor, you
can search and page through the file like you would with "less".
