Git Blame Ignore Feature

TL;DR: You can exclude specific commits from git blame using:

git blame --ignore-rev <rev-id> <file>

For permanent configuration:

1. Create .git-blame-ignore-revs file with commit hashes to ignore
2. Configure git to use it:

git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs

Bonus: Enable ”?” icon for skipped revisions:

git config blame.markIgnoredLines true

This is super useful for:

• Reformatting (tabs to spaces)
• Code style fixes
• Whitespace changes
• Spelling corrections
• Any mass changes that aren’t actual code changes

Works in IntelliJ IDEs when properly configured!
