How can I view prior commits with git blame?

git blame -L 10,+1 fe25b6d^ -- src/options.cpp

You can specify a revision for git blame to look back starting from (instead of the default of HEAD); fe25b6d^ is the parent of fe25b6d.


Edit: New to Git 2.23, we have the --ignore-rev option added to git blame:

git blame --ignore-rev fe25b6d

While this doesn’t answer OP’s question of giving the stack of commits (you’ll use git log for that, as per the other answer), it is a better way of this solution, as you won’t potentially misblame the other lines.
