+-b::
+ Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
+ be controlled via the `blame.blankBoundary` config option.
+
+--root::
+ Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
+ controlled via the `blame.showRoot` config option.
+
+--show-stats::
+ Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
+
+-L <start>,<end>::
+-L :<funcname>::
+ Annotate only the line range given by '<start>,<end>',
+ or by the function name regex '<funcname>'.
+ May be specified multiple times. Overlapping ranges are allowed.
++
+'<start>' and '<end>' are optional. `-L <start>` or `-L <start>,` spans from
+'<start>' to end of file. `-L ,<end>` spans from start of file to '<end>'.
++
+include::line-range-format.txt[]
+
+-l::
+ Show long rev (Default: off).
+
+-t::
+ Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
+
+-S <revs-file>::
+ Use revisions from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
+
+--reverse <rev>..<rev>::
+ Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
+ the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
+ revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
+ revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
+ START. `git blame --reverse START` is taken as `git blame
+ --reverse START..HEAD` for convenience.
+
+--first-parent::
+ Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge
+ commit. This option can be used to determine when a line
+ was introduced to a particular integration branch, rather
+ than when it was introduced to the history overall.
+
+-p::
+--porcelain::
+ Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
+
+--line-porcelain::
+ Show the porcelain format, but output commit information for
+ each line, not just the first time a commit is referenced.
+ Implies --porcelain.
+
+--incremental::
+ Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
+ machine consumption.
+
+--encoding=<encoding>::
+ Specifies the encoding used to output author names
+ and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
+ output unconverted data. For more information see the
+ discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
+ manual page.
+
+--contents <file>::
+ When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
+ changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
+ This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
+ tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
+ `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
+
+--date <format>::
+ Specifies the format used to output dates. If --date is not
+ provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
+ used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
+ iso format is used. For supported values, see the discussion
+ of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
+
+--[no-]progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal. This flag
+ enables progress reporting even if not attached to a
+ terminal. Can't use `--progress` together with `--porcelain`
+ or `--incremental`.
+
+-M[<num>]::
+ Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
+ moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
+ has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
+ A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
+ the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
+ up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
+ were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
+ option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
+ running extra passes of inspection.
++
+<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
+alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
+within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
+commit. The default value is 20.
+
+-C[<num>]::
+ In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
+ files that were modified in the same commit. This is
+ useful when you reorganize your program and move code
+ around across files. When this option is given twice,
+ the command additionally looks for copies from other
+ files in the commit that creates the file. When this
+ option is given three times, the command additionally
+ looks for copies from other files in any commit.
++
+<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
+alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
+between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
+commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
+`-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
+take effect.
+
+--ignore-rev <rev>::
+ Ignore changes made by the revision when assigning blame, as if the
+ change never happened. Lines that were changed or added by an ignored
+ commit will be blamed on the previous commit that changed that line or
+ nearby lines. This option may be specified multiple times to ignore
+ more than one revision. If the `blame.markIgnoredLines` config option
+ is set, then lines that were changed by an ignored commit and attributed to
+ another commit will be marked with a `?` in the blame output. If the
+ `blame.markUnblamableLines` config option is set, then those lines touched
+ by an ignored commit that we could not attribute to another revision are
+ marked with a '*'.
+
+--ignore-revs-file <file>::
+ Ignore revisions listed in `file`, which must be in the same format as an
+ `fsck.skipList`. This option may be repeated, and these files will be
+ processed after any files specified with the `blame.ignoreRevsFile` config
+ option. An empty file name, `""`, will clear the list of revs from
+ previously processed files.
+
+--color-lines::
+ Color line annotations in the default format differently if they come from
+ the same commit as the preceding line. This makes it easier to distinguish
+ code blocks introduced by different commits. The color defaults to cyan and
+ can be adjusted using the `color.blame.repeatedLines` config option.
+
+--color-by-age::
+ Color line annotations depending on the age of the line in the default format.
+ The `color.blame.highlightRecent` config option controls what color is used for
+ each range of age.
+
+-h::
+ Show help message.
