Use git blame with Cursor
When going through the code, I saw an unexpected change, and wonder who made it and with which commit. I went through the following flow to find it quickly.
1. CMD+P > open file search

2. insert > into file search, converting it to command palette
3. Then search "blame", and click "toggle git blame"

4. Move your current to the line that you are curious about
5. Git blame will show the commit and committer that last modified that line

6. Hover over git blame info, and view the commit popup

7. Click options
- view commit file changes in Cursor
- Open on Github
