## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

git-who is a Go command-line tool that extends the idea of git blame from individual lines to whole file trees, components, and repository histories.

### Projektgeschichte

Nathan Smith published git-who in a GitHub repository created in December 2024. The README describes the project as a way to answer who is responsible for code at the component or subsystem level rather than only at the line level.

The project quickly grew into three views: a table of authors, a tree annotated by primary contributors, and a histogram of repository activity. Releases in 2025 and 2026 added signed artifacts, package-manager paths, and options such as NO_COLOR support.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

git-who has a broader adoption footprint than many small Git helpers in this batch. The README documents precompiled binaries, Homebrew, Docker, go install, and a Repology packaging badge; the July 2026 enrichment snapshot of GitHub metadata listed more than 2,600 stars.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Practitioners use git who to identify likely code owners, find the dominant author of a path, inspect contribution history for a release range, and visualize maintainership changes. The tool respects .mailmap and .git-blame-ignore-revs, and it caches per-repository data under XDG_CACHE_HOME.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

git-who is significant because it packages a common organizational need, code ownership discovery, as a local Git-native command instead of a hosted analytics dashboard. It complements git blame by preserving history-level context that line blame can obscure.

### Zeitleiste

- 2024: Repository created.
- 2025: v0.2 was labeled the initial release, followed by signed artifacts in v0.3.
- 2025: Maintainer demo showed the tool against the Vim repository.
- 2026: v1.3 added NO_COLOR support.
