NAME
       jj-file-annotate - Show the source change for each line of the target
       file

SYNOPSIS
       jj file annotate [-r|--revision] [-R|--repository]
       [--ignore-working-copy] [-T|--template] [--no-integrate-operation]
       [--ignore-immutable] [--at-operation] [--debug] [--color] [--quiet]
       [--no-pager] [--config] [--config-file] [-h|--help] <PATH>

DESCRIPTION
       Show the source change for each line of the target file.

       Annotates a revision line by line. Each line includes the source change
       that introduced the associated line. A path to the desired file must be
       provided.

OPTIONS
       -r, --revision <REVSET>
              an optional revision to start at

       -T, --template <TEMPLATE>
              Render each line using the given template

              All 0-argument methods of the [`AnnotationLine` type] are
              available as keywords in the template expression. See [`jj help
              -k templates`] for more information.

              If not specified, this defaults to the `templates.file_annotate`
              setting.

       -h, --help
              Print help (see a summary with '-h')

       <PATH> the file to annotate

GLOBAL OPTIONS
       -R, --repository <REPOSITORY>
              Path to repository to operate on

              By default, Jujutsu searches for the closest .jj/ directory in
              an ancestor of the current working directory.

       --ignore-working-copy
              Don't snapshot the working copy, and don't update it

              By default, Jujutsu snapshots the working copy at the beginning
              of every command. The working copy is also updated at the end of
              the command, if the command modified the working-copy commit
              (`@`). If you want to avoid snapshotting the working copy and
              instead see a possibly stale working-copy commit, you can use
              `--ignore-working-copy`. This may be useful e.g. in a command
              prompt, especially if you have another process that commits the
              working copy.

              Loading the repository at a specific operation with
              `--at-operation` implies `--ignore-working-copy`.

       --no-integrate-operation
              Run the command as usual but don't integrate any operations

              When this option is given, the operations will still be created
              as usual but they will not be integrated to the operation log.
              The working copy will also not be updated.

              The command will print the resulting operation ID. You can pass
              that to e.g. `jj --at-op` to inspect the resulting repo state,
              or you can pass it to `jj op restore` to restore the repo to
              that state. You can also pass the ID to `jj op integrate` to
              integrate the operation.

              Note that this does *not* prevent side effects outside the repo.
              For example, `jj git push --no-integrate-operation` will still
              perform the push.

       --ignore-immutable
              Allow rewriting immutable commits

              By default, Jujutsu prevents rewriting commits in the configured
              set of immutable commits. This option disables that check and
              lets you rewrite any commit but the root commit.

              This option only affects the check. It does not affect the
              `immutable_heads()` revset or the `immutable` template keyword.

       --at-operation <AT_OPERATION>
              Operation to load the repo at

              Operation to load the repo at. By default, Jujutsu loads the
              repo at the most recent operation, or at the merge of the
              divergent operations if any.

              You can use `--at-op=<operation ID>` to see what the repo looked
              like at an earlier operation. For example `jj --at-op=<operation
              ID> st` will show you what `jj st` would have shown you when the
              given operation had just finished. `--at-op=@` is pretty much
              the same as the default except that divergent operations will
              never be merged.

              Use `jj op log` to find the operation ID you want. Any
              unambiguous prefix of the operation ID is enough.

              When loading the repo at an earlier operation, the working copy
              will be ignored, as if `--ignore-working-copy` had been
              specified.

              It is possible to run mutating commands when loading the repo at
              an earlier operation. Doing that is equivalent to having run
              concurrent commands starting at the earlier operation. There's
              rarely a reason to do that, but it is possible.

       --debug
              Enable debug logging

       --color <WHEN>
              When to colorize output

              Possible values:

                     o always

                     o never

                     o debug

                     o auto

       --quiet
              Silence non-primary command output

              For example, `jj file list` will still list files, but it won't
              tell you if the working copy was snapshotted or if descendants
              were rebased.

              Warnings and errors will still be printed.

       --no-pager
              Disable the pager

       --config <NAME=VALUE>
              Additional configuration options (can be repeated)

              The name should be specified as TOML dotted keys. The value
              should be specified as a TOML expression. If string value isn't
              enclosed by any TOML constructs (such as array notation), quotes
              can be omitted.

       --config-file <PATH>
              Additional configuration files (can be repeated)
