Emacs + magit - vertical blame

Question

I recently decided to switch from vim to spacemacs, which has already magit included. When working with Vim it is very easy to show :Gblame, and it shows vertical menu with commits, its author and side by side code (similar how to original git blame works).

I discovered magit-blame, but it shows diff in different way (commit, author and below code) which seems unnatural to me. Is it possible to change this view to be similar how fugitive works? I know that emacs is editor of near endless possibilities so it must be possible in some way.

I discovered also that I can use vc-annotate but it doesn't preserve syntax highlighting.

Answer 1

Looks like it's supported now (see tarsius' link)!

Run magit-blame, then magit-blame-cycle-style (or magit-blame again then c) to cycle to the vertical mode.

Answer 2

Magit does not currently support this, but there are plans to support multiple display styles: https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2937.
