# Git file history
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/9ba1224867665844b117fa037e1465bb706b3685/app/controllers/commits_controller.rb) in GitLab 0.8.0
|
|
|
|
Git file History provides information about the commit history associated
|
|
with a file.
|
|
|
|
You can find the **History** button with each file in a project.
|
|
|
|
![File history button](img/file_history_button_v12_6.png "History button")
|
|
|
|
When you select the **History** button, you'll see a screen with the
|
|
noted information:
|
|
|
|
![Git log output](img/file_history_output_v12_6.png "History button output")
|
|
|
|
If you hover over a commit in the UI, you'll see a precise date and time
|
|
that commit was last modified.
|
|
|
|
## Associated `git` command
|
|
|
|
If you're running `git` from the command line, the equivalent command
|
|
is `git log <filename>`. For example, if you want to find `history`
|
|
information about a `README.md` file in the local directory, run the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git log README.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll see output similar to the following, which includes the commit
|
|
time in UTC format:
|
|
|
|
```shell
