I created a Sublime Text 2 plugin that lets you see the commit message history (messages & file stats) for selected line(s) of code with a simple shortcut: cmd+shift+m on Mac, alt+shift+m on Linux/Windows.<p>Inspired by this earlier post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7202146).
Disclaimer: I love ST and use it everyday and this is not against this plugin in particular, just the idea of extending your editor to be an IDE.<p>When people extend their text editor (be it sublime, vim, emacs) with all these (often outdated) plugins i am left wondering why there is still so much hate for IDEs ? I use IDEs from Jetbrains for most of my stuff and they do all these things oob with a consistent UI and are well tested. Why would i want to fiddle together my text editor with one-man plugins that often dont even work 100% ?<p>I love Sublime etc. for what it does best, which is editing text, but i still use IDEs for most of my coding so i dont have to think about configuring my editor all day.
It doesn't seem to exist anymore: <a href="https://sublime.wbond.net/search/GitCommitMsg" rel="nofollow">https://sublime.wbond.net/search/GitCommitMsg</a> or in package control.<p>Will install it manually, seems a great trick!
There is a plugin (found within the package manager) called simply 'Git' that does this -- you just call Git Blame from the bar (CTRL SHIFT P) and it'll show you a line-by-line history of the whole file or selection.
This reminds me of the layers concept from <a href="https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/a-whole-new-world" rel="nofollow">https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/a-whole-new-world</a>
Hi all, works with ST3 now and is in Package Control. Only thing missing is Windows support (looking into it). Thanks for the comments and pull-requests :)
