View the change history of a file using Git versioning

Question

How can I view the change history of an individual file in Git, complete details with what has changed?

I have got as far as:

git log -- [filename]

If you use TortoiseGit you should be able to right click on the file and do TortoiseGit --> Show Log. In the window that pops up, make sure:

• 'Show Whole Project' option is not checked.

• 'All Branches' option is checked.
