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

To git blame the current directory:

git ls-files -z | xargs -0n1 git blame

I adapted the above from here: https://gist.github.com/Alpha59/4e9cd6c65f7aa2711b79

A very very slow one-liner that goes through a git blame and sees how many lines were contributed by each author.

It seems I needed to press spacebar and Q at least once to fully scroll through the list.
