nvim-blameline

Experimental implementation of GitLens's line blame for Nvim.

What?

Blameline allows you to preview the blame details for the current line. It does so using the git blame command. It is inspired by the current line blame functionality offered by GitLens for VSCode. It uses the virtualtext API from NeoVim to display the blame metadata in the buffer.

Commands

:BlamelineEnable
    BlamelineEnable shows the blame metadata on the current lie and
    creates autocmds to alter the behaviour of the plugin.

:BlamelineDisable
    BlamelineDisable clears the blame metadata from the current line and
    also clears the autocommands setup by BlamelineEnable.

Options

let g:blameline_delay_time
    Delay (in ms) before the commit metadata is shown (default: 1000)

let g:blameline_filetype_blacklist
    Filetypes on which blameline should not act.
    Defaults to the following:
        let g:blameline_filetype_blacklist = [
        \   'help',
        \   'nerdtree',
        \   'quickfix',
        \   'tags',
        \]
