How to list all commits that changed a specific file?

To get all commits for a specific file use:

git rev-list HEAD --oneline FileName

For example

git rev-list HEAD --oneline index.html

Output

7a2bb2f update_index_with_alias
6c03e56 update_changes
e867142 Revert "add_paragraph"

If you wish to see all changes made in commits that changed a particular file (rather than just the changes to the file itself), you can pass --full-diff:

git log -p --full-diff [branch] -- <path>

To just get a list of the commit hashes, use git rev-list:

 git rev-list HEAD <filename>

Output:

b7c4f0d7ebc3e4c61155c76b5ebc940e697600b1
e3920ac6c08a4502d1c27cea157750bd978b6443

Which means five commits have touched this file. It's in reverse chronological order, so the first commit in the list b7c4f0d7 is the most recent one.
