How to git blame a directory

Question

I would like to know how to use git blame to know who created a single directory.

When I try:

git blame DIRECTORY_NAME

I get:

Answer 1

Try getting a log of just that directory, and use the -p option to see the exact changes that occurred.

$ git log -p 

This still might not tell you exactly who created the directory, since git seems to focus more on file content, but you might get some helpful clues just from seeing the first time any content was added to it.
