By adding a .git-blame-ignore-revs file that contains the commits that git blame will ignore, we are able to remove them from the blame view when using this feature. See https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/viewing-a-file#ignore-commits-in-the-blame-view for extra details. For now, I added just a couple of big commits, but we can add more with time. This same behavior can be enabled locally with: git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs This config is not suitable as a global config though, because it will fail on repositories that do not have the file set.
