  "github_readme_excerpt": "![logo](./assets/gitwho_logo.svg)\n\n`git-who` is a command-line tool for answering that eternal question:\n\n\u003e _Who wrote this code?!_\n\nUnlike `git blame`, which can tell you who wrote a _line_ of code, `git-who`\ntells you the people responsible for entire components or subsystems in a\ncodebase. You can think of `git-who` sort of like `git blame` but for file\ntrees rather than individual files.\n\n\n![demo](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c0281f57-374b-4b3a-a21d-8d0262c3e46b)\n\n\n## Demo\nThis README contains comprehensive documentation. For an overview, see [Who\nWill Maintain Vim? A Demo of Git\nWho](https://sinclairtarget.com/blog/2025/03/who-will-maintain-vim-a-demo-of-git-who/).\n\n## Installation\n### Precompiled Binaries\nSee [releases](https://github.com/sinclairtarget/git-who/releases).\n\n### Package Managers\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/git-who.svg)](https://repology.org/project/git-who/versions)\n\n#### Mac OS\n```bash\nbrew install git-who\n```\n\n### Docker\nSee the [section on Docker](#using-docker) below.\n\n### go install command\n\nThis method requires that you have Go installed.\n\n```bash\ngo install github.com/sinclairtarget/git-who@latest\n```\n\n### From Source\nBuilding from source requires that you have Go, Ruby, and the `rake` Ruby gem\ninstalled. Note that these are _only_ required when building from source; you\ncan download and run one of the binary releases without installing any of these\ntools.\n\n```bash\ngit clone git@github.com:sinclairtarget/git-who.git\ncd git-who\nrake\n./git-who --version\n```\n\n## Usage\n_(In the following examples, `git-who` is invoked as `git who`. This will work\nautomatically as long as Git can find `git-who` in your PATH. See the [Git\nAlias](#git-alias) section for more details.)_\n\n`git who` has three subcommands. Each subcommand gives you a different view of\nauthorship in your Git repository.\n\n### The `table` Subcommand\nThe `table` subcommand is the default subcommand. You can invoke it explicitly\nas `git",
