How to find out in which commit a file is removed?

Question

I got one file removed in the repository. I want to find out on which commit this file is removed. How can I do this?

Answer 1

git rev-list -n 1 HEAD -- <file_path>

This will return the hash of the last commit that has modified this path. If your file does not exist in HEAD anymore, it means that it will return the hash of the deleting commit.

Good luck

Answer 2

git log -p -1 -- <file_path>

It will show the detail of the commit.
