About
Git Lineage is a native desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that shows a file or folder's Git history as a timeline you can scrub, with blame on every line and deleted lines fading out. Lines are tinted by recency, and users can search history and anchor a line to follow it over time. It is a one-time US$29 purchase, and unregistered copies show a reminder but remain fully functional.
At a glance
Git Lineage shows how a file or directory changed as you move through its Git history. It is worth trying if you need to trace a deleted line, rename or pattern of churn across many commits.
Good fit
Developers who often compare several revisions instead of looking up a single blame entry.
Consider something else when
Use ordinary Git commands when you only need the commit that last changed a line.
Start here
Choose a repository with a known rename and deletion. Scrub across both events and open the relevant commit in your diff tool to verify the timeline.
Cost and requirements
The vendor lists a one-time US$29 license and builds for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Limits to know
The view depends on the Git history available locally. Shallow history and rename detection can limit what you can reconstruct.
