weebston Show HN: "Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming

I'm very happy to hear you had fun with it. Thank you for the comprehensive feedback and for trying it out!

Not sure what's happening with the tarball. Will take a look at that.

That's a neat idea, I can see how it'd be useful.

If you have a shell that supports extended globbing, you could do something like:

  $ git who table */**/*.go

That works for me using Bash. I believe all that's happening here is that Bash is expanding the globs and passing a long list of individual filepaths as arguments to git who. Git who then passes them to git log so that it only tallies the commits you'd get by running:

  $ git log */**/*.go

The -n flag does this. Use -n 0 to show all rows

Like other commenters have said, mailmap does this and git who will respect your mailmap file.

These are all build dependencies. You don't need any of these just to run git who. The language could be clearer; I'll update it.

Wow! I had no idea. Will need to update the README. Thanks for the tip!
