+# View Commit History of a File
+
+[Gitv](https://github.com/gregsexton/gitv) is an extension of the
+[Fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) plugin that allows you to
+view and step through the commit history of a file (among other things).
+
+Open a file in Vim and enter the `:Gitv!` command to open a preview window
+listing the commits involving the current file. It will look something like
+this:
+
+```

+You can skim over these commits and when one looks interesting, just hit
+`enter` when your cursor is over its respective line to view the file as it
+was at the time of that commit.
+
+Restore your buffer to its original state by navigating to the top of the
+preview and hitting `enter` for the filename on the first line.
+
+This tool is great for use in a team setting when you want to figure out
+what changes a file has undergone recently, especially when something about
+a file seems a little fishy. This is also great for individual and team use
+when you simply cannot remember why you changed a file or what it used to
+look like before that *clever* refactoring.
