Git-Who: Track Down Code Ownership Like a Boss

Tired of hunting down the authors of specific code sections? Git-Who, a command-line tool, is your solution! Unlike `git blame`, which focuses on individual lines, Git-Who identifies the key contributors to entire code components or subsystems. Using three subcommands—`table`, `tree`, and `hist`—it presents authorship information in tables, tree structures, and timelines, showing contribution counts, last edit times, lines modified, and more. Filter results by path, branch, tag, or revision range, and use flags for sorting and filtering. Git-Who even respects Git mailmaps, consolidating contributions under varying names or emails. Try Git-Who to get a clear picture of code ownership!
