# Viewing A File On Another Branch
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you want to view a file on another branch (without switching
|
|
branches). That is, you want to view the version of that file as it exists
|
|
on that branch. `git show` can help. If the other branch is named `some_branch` and
|
|
the file you want to see is `app/models/users.rb`, then your command should
|
|
look like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git show some_branch:app/models/users.rb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can even tab-complete the filename as you type it out.
|
|
|
|
See `man git-show` for more details.
