Can I have magit-blame somehow only show the changes introduced with the last commit?

EDIT: what have I attempted?

I've looked at the docs of magit-blame and explored all flags in the magit-blame interface. Essentially I've inherited a repository and I want to see the changes introduced by a commit whilst being able to continue working on the code. That's why I would like to have magit-blame-addition overlays and not a simple diff.

    What have you attempted? Also, a blame of last commit makes little sense unless it's a merge conflict.

  • Thanks, you are right that I should've been clearer. I've added more context to the question. I want blame addition overlays so that I can have the most recently added lines marked in the buffer while I work on the code. A simple magit-blame shows me too many commits that end up distracting me more than helping.

No.

But you can get something similar using the diff-hl package. diff-hl-mode shows an indicator in the fringe for uncommitted changes, diff-hl-flydiff-mode causes that information to be updated on the fly, and diff-hl-amend-mode causes the changes from HEAD to be shown as well.
