Git file History provides information about the commit history associated with a file. To use it: Go to your project's Repository > Files. In the upper right corner, select History.
To use Magit, type M-x magit-status or C-x M-g j . You can also type C-x p m to open a Magit status buffer in your project root, if you use that functionality in Emacs. The status window is the most common entryway into Magit, but it is not the only one.
Since magit 2.1: magit-log-buffer-file (as per comment below)
Before magit 2.1: magit-file-log is what you are looking for. It will show you all commits for the file in the current buffer in the standard magit log view.

Open your magit-status buffer, by typing M-x magit-status (I used to have this bound to C-. C-g because it is used all the time. These days, I use Spacemacs so it's <SPC> g s)
