Finding the author of a line of code in Mercurial
If you are using TortoiseHG
hgtk annotate <filename>
Or by finding the file in the log, rightclicking it and selecting "Annotate file"
On the command-line, you'd want to use hg annotate -u
(-u
can be combined with -n
to get the local revision number, which might come in useful). Check hg help anno
for more options.
I was a fan of "svn blame"
, so I've added to my ~/.hgrc
:
[alias]
blame = annotate --user --number
so I can just type "hg blame"
;-)
