+# Git file blame
+
+> [Introduced](https://git.sphere.ly/staff/publicgitlab/commit/39c657930625ddc3ac8a921f01ffc83acadce68f) in GitLab 2.5
+
+[Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) provides more information
+about every line in a file, including the last modified time, author, and
+commit hash.
+
+You can find the **Blame** button with each file in a project.
+
+![File blame button](img/file_blame_button_v12_6.png "Blame button")
+
+When you select the **Blame** button, you'll see a screen with the
+noted information:

+![Git blame output](img/file_blame_output_v12_6.png "Blame button output")
+
+If you hover over a commit in the UI, you'll see a precise date and time
+for that commit.
+
+## Associated `git` command
+
+If you're running `git` from the command line, the equivalent command is
+`git blame <filename>`. For example, if you want to find `blame` information
+about a `README.md` file in the local directory, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+git blame README.md
+```
+
+You'll see output similar to the following, which includes the commit time
+in UTC format:
