nvim-blame-line
A small plugin that uses neovims virtual text to print git blame info at the end of the current line.
Also supports showing blame below the current window, for normal vim users.
nvim-blame-line prints author, date and summary of the commit belonging to the line underneath the cursor. Just like a real IDE!
