This package enables you to query Git "blame" information for files while you are viewing/editing them in Sublime Text.
Blame information tells you who last edited a line, when they did it, and which commit they did it in. You can then choose to show that commit in full including its commit message and diff.
For this package to work, you must already have the git command-line tool installed, and be viewing/editing a file that is part of a Git repository on your hard drive.

In combination with Sublime Text's Multiple Selection feature, you can query blame information for more than one line simultaneously by first placing a text cursor on each line you are interested in, and then running as described above.
You can also query blame information for every line in the entire file simultaneously by pressing CtrlAltShiftB (Mac/Windows) or CtrlShiftC (Linux). Doing this shows blame information in a different style (it's located to the left of the content, and more compact, but with fewer features):
To close all of them, click the × icon on any one of them, or press the keyboard shortcut again.
As well as via keyboard shortcuts, this package's commands are also made available in the Command Palette. Type "Git Blame" into it to find them:
