A lightweight Neovim plugin written in Lua that displays Git blame information as virtual text and integrates with statuslines.
What is git-blame.nvim?
git-blame.nvim is a Git blame plugin for Neovim written entirely in Lua. It displays authorship information (like who last modified a line and when) as inline virtual text next to each line of code, helping developers quickly trace changes and improve collaboration. It integrates directly into the editor to provide immediate context without leaving the buffer.
Neovim users who work with Git repositories and need to frequently inspect line-by-line commit history directly within their editor. It's particularly useful for developers on teams who need to understand code authorship for review or debugging.
Developers choose this plugin because it's lightweight and performant, being written in pure Lua with no external dependencies like Node.js. It offers deep configurability, seamless Neovim ecosystem integration, and supports multiple Git hosting platforms (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) out of the box.
