blame - Entire

entire blame is a git-blame-style command for viewing file history with checkpoint and session context.

entire blame FILE[:LINE[-LINE]] [flags]

Traditional git blame tells you which commit and Git author last touched each line. But after agent-assisted work, the Git author is often not the whole story. entire blame starts from the same line history, then tells you the intent behind how the code was created: the prompt that asked for it, the session it came from, and the checkpoint that saved it.

Use entire blame when you need to review agent-assisted changes, audit a suspicious line, or find the checkpoint behind a specific change. The command works in Entire-enabled repositories and supports JSON output for scripts and tooling.

Try it

Run entire blame from an Entire-enabled repository, then pass the file you want to inspect.

entire blame path/to/file.ts
entire blame path/to/file.ts --line 12-20
entire blame path/to/file.ts --long
entire blame path/to/file.ts --json

FILE:12 and FILE:12-20 are equivalent to passing --line.

Attribution Tags

Each line shows the attribution status of the commit that introduced it. Tags are commit-level signals:

AI: the commit was attributed to an AI agent session
MX: the commit mixed AI-attributed and human-attributed work
HU: the commit was made without AI-attributed checkpoint data
??: the line is uncommitted

When available, the output also links lines to their Entire checkpoint metadata. A line never changes tag between entire blame and entire why. See What do entire blame and entire why actually tell me? for what these tags do and do not promise.
