The git show command can be used to view the content of a file at a particular commit. For example, the git log can be used to get the ID of each commit.
~]# git log --oneline example.txt
afba75a second commit
741785c first commit
And then the git show command can be used to view the content of the file at a particular commit.
git show <commit id>:<path/to/file>
For example.
git show afba75a:path/to/example.txt
