# 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:
```bash
git log README.md
```
You'll see output similar to the following, which includes the commit
time in UTC format:
```bash
