+## Improving `git blame`
+
+You can have `git blame` ignore the reformatting done when [introducting fourmolu](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-cli/pull/835/commits/9d1fd093071278be77428dba189d958d5b7a7aeb) by setting this in your `.git/config` file:
+
+```toml
+[blame]
+        ignoreRevsFile = .git-blame-ignore-revs
+```
