Git file history

Introduced 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

When you select the History button, you'll see a screen with the noted information:

Git log 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:

git log README.md

You'll see output similar to the following, which includes the commit time in UTC format:
