How to compare file with its previous version in TortoiseGit

Question

I used git bisect to locate the commit that broke stuff. Now I want to compare file with its previous version but when I right click a file in Log Messages window I have only "Compare with base" and "Compare with working tree" and that's useless for me.

How can I easily compare a file from some old commit with its previous version?

I just want to see what was added/deleted in that particular commit in that file. This what TortoiseSvn normally does when you double click a file in Log Messages window. I would prefer to get that outcome using TortoiseGit and WinMerge but if its not possible any other tool is also good.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

git diff HEAD^

HEAD is the latest version, and ^ means "prior". For example, HEAD^^ means 2 back.
