### Finding Who Changed What with git blame
```bash
git blame <file> # Show who last modified each line
git blame -e <file> # Show with email addresses
git blame -L 10,20 <file> # Blame specific line range (lines 10-20)
```
**When to use `git blame`:**
- Find who wrote a specific line of code
- Identify when a bug was introduced
- Understand the context/reason for a change by finding the author

## Question 6: What changes were made to app.py between the second and fourth commits?
## Question 6: Who changed the login credentials to hardcoded values? 🔍
**Note:** Describe the main changes you observe (new imports, new function calls, etc.)
**The Challenge:**
Someone on the team added hardcoded login credentials to `app.py` (username: "admin", password: "admin123"). This is a security issue! Use `git blame` to find out who made this change.
**Your task:** Find the email address of the person who wrote the line containing `login("admin", "admin123")`.
**Suggested commands:**
``````bash
# First, get commit hashes
git log --oneline
# View who changed each line in app.py
git blame app.py
# Then compare commits 2 and 4
git diff <commit2-hash> <commit4-hash> app.py
# For a more readable format
git blame -e app.py # Shows email addresses
# Look for the line with login("admin", "admin123")
# The format is: commit_hash (Author Name <email> date time line_number) line_content
``````
