### Feature or Bug-fix - Refactoring ### Detail My recent PR data-dot-all#394 has a lot of changes but all of these changes are to styles only and not the code itself, this way the blame history for all the changed files is lost (it will always blame me). This PR adds the file`.git-blame-ignore-revs` which contains the id of the styling commit and the command that you need to run once to fix the blame history for you. Also Github understands that file and will show the history correctly. This PR is based on [this article](https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/how-to-exclude-commits-from-git-blame/) and is suggested by Raul. This file works for the whole repository, and in the future one only needs to add ids of styling commits and the history will be preserved correctly. --- By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.
