git blame for deleted lines
Raw
GIT_BLAME_DELETED.md

git blame can tell you who last changed a file line by line. But how can you find out who deleted a line?

You can pseudo-git-blame a deleted line using either of the following, depending on whether you want to do a simple string matching search or use a regex:

  1. git log -S [string] ./file
  2. git log -G [regex] ./file
