I cannot find Git blame

[screendriver]

Maybe a very stupid question, so sorry for that, but where can I find Git blame in lazygit? 🙈 I want to see for a given file which line changed when by whom like this:

With tig it's just a matter of pressing t to get the tree view and then pressing B to get the Git blame of the highlighted file. I just found ctrl+s (view filter-by-path options) to filter for a file and see the whole Git log history for that given file (which is great because I often use that! 👍 ) but on the other side I don't find a way to look at the whole file and see line by line when it was added by whom.

Looks like it's not something that is built into lazygit at the moment, the wiki points to setting a custom command that launches tig.

I was using an LLM to help me learn lazygit and it hallucinated git blame. So I hallucinated this which I guess changes lazygit into a new (but I think cool) direction - file navigation. Not so strange if you learned about Norton Commander after that would have been really useful...

At this point, clicking on debug-printer.c file
would display the full file in the "Staged
Changes" window.

More importantly, things like "e" and "b" (which
both Gemini and ChatGPT4o think exist but I can't
find a blame command when I press "b"), would do
useful work on those files.

(I'm exploring the possibility of just using tig... But one must admit having everything in one tool would be cool....)
