The Blame window shows the last user to modify any given line in a file. This is useful for determining why a build broke or to just generally assign credit or blame to content changes in a file.
The blame window has the following columns:
• Line – The line number of the given line.
• User – The user who made the last change. If the same user made changes for a block of lines, only the first line will display the user’s name and all the remaining lines in that block will be in the same shading to indicate it is the same user (without repeating the user’s name).
• Version – The version number of the file that the line last changed on. Each version number is linked to a footnote table at the bottom of the page that shows which versions have changed content, which user checked that version in, and what the comment was for that check in.
• File Contents – The actual line in the file.
