How can I find a file in my git repository with SourceTree?

Currently, the file has to be present in some branch log, but I want to search on the repository.

I want to:

  • right-click the file

  • Log Selected...

  • and peek at it's history.

The SourceTree file history is quite good.

In the working copy view there is a dropdown where you can select a filter for the visible files in the column below. Just select "All Files" instead of the "Pending" default.

On the right side there also is a Searchbox to filter this file list.
