## Syntax

Syntax conventions

## Description

List the commit history of the specified file, from the most recent commit to the initial commit.

By default, this command is optimized to NOT display history of a file that is deleted in the most recent commit, or has been removed previously.

The `--first-parent` option follows only the first parent of each commit.

## Options

`-d` | Show the full history of a deleted file. This option cannot be used with paths containing wildcards.
`-m max` | List only the first `max` changes per file output.
``--first-parent`` | Follows only the first parent of each commit.
