How do I check out an older version of a file with TortoiseGit?

Question

I see threads on here about checking out older versions of a file with the command line git, but how do I do it with TortoiseGit?

Answer 1

• Show log option (right-click one the file), but remember to un-check Show Whole Project to only display commits relevant to the selected file.

Then, for better display, click View and check Hide Unrelated Changed Paths

• Next you can right-click on the file and use Revert to this revision

Answer 2

Right click the file, select TortoiseGit > Show Log. Find what revision of the file you want to check out, by clicking old revisions in the bottom pane of the log. Once you find which one you want to check out, select 'Revert to this revision'. Word of warning, I'm not sure if this reverts a single file, or rolls the entire repo back to that hash tag.

Answer 3

Right click on the file you are interested and choose Tortoise Git --> Show Log. Select the commit in the log you are interested in, then right click on the file you are interested in the bottom pane, and select "Revert to this Revision"
