+# This file contains a list of commits with mass changes for exclusion by `git blame`.
+#
+# Passing `--ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs` as a flag will tell git to "ignore changes made by the revision
+# when assigning blame, as if the change never happened".
+#
+# For example:
+#   git blame --ignore-revs-file .git-blame-ignore-revs ...
+#
+# You can make this the default for your local repo using:
+#   git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
+#
+# Doing this will allow the GitLens VS Code extension (and other tools which use the output of `git blame`) to make use
+# of the file for the repo.
+#
+# Note that `git blame` does not use any file by default, and  the filename `.git-blame-ignore-revs` is just a
+# convention.
+
+# Use prettier to manage code style and formatting (#1476)
