How do I view a single file's history in GitK?

I have a git repository with a large number of files in it. At some point a bug was introduced into my program. I have a good idea which file is causing the issue, I just need to track down which commit introduced the error.

How can I view the revision history for single file using GitK?

Solution

  • To get the file history 

    gitk <filename>

    To see the blame history in a gui, which may help you track the commit use

    git gui blame <filename>
