As of v2.23, git blame gained the ability to ignore specific revisions. This functionality is particularly useful for excluding large formatting changes or other bulk modifications that might obscure the history of meaningful code changes. You can create a file containing a list of commit hashes you want Git to ignore when assigning blame.

If we name this file .git-blame-ignore-revs and store it in the root of our repository on GitHub, it will be automatically detected . This means GitHub's Blame view will respect these ignored revisions without any additional configuration on our part, providing a cleaner blame history in the web interface.

This ticket tackles adding this file to our repo.
