Git-who is a command-line tool that identifies authors responsible for entire components or subsystems in a codebase, unlike git blame which focuses on individual lines. It offers three subcommands (table, tree, and hist) to provide different views of authorship in a Git repository, helping users understand who contributed most to various parts of the project.
