View a file's history in Magit?

Question

View the change history of a file using Git versioning talks about other ways of viewing history of a file in Git.

Can it be done in Emacs Magit?

Answer 1

Open your magit-status buffer, by typing M-x magit-status (I used to have this bound to C-. C-g because it is used all the time. These days, I use Spacemacs so it's g s)

1. Type l to get log viewing option
2. Type -- to set the "Limit to files" option (used to be =f)
3. Enter the file path you wish to view history for
4. Type l to view the log of the current branch

If you're using Spacemacs, you can get the history of the currently visited file using g f h
