[Feature request] Individual file history view

[Thundercraft5]

Feature

A separate history view individual files, such as the currently active files. It could include a timeline or other visualizations for the history of the file.
This would allow users to view the evolution of their notes over time, instead of relying solely on a note system to do so.

Workarounds & Alternatives

Using gitk -- <file> or git log -p <file> to view the file history, which is cumbersome.

I second this request.
As a workaround you can use the Shell commands plugin to invoke gitk with the current filename.

hi, im currently building a "git changelog" plugin that will do this (but gonna implement this exact feature a bit later probably)

@Vinzent03 do you have plans to implement something like this? it would be good to avoid duplicated efforts

@SanskritFritz In my plugin i handle all git operations through this plugin, so that if user has some custom git config, they don't have to configure each plugin separately.

Have you tried running those commands through this plugin by calling this.app.plugins.getPlugin("obsidian-git").gitManager.log(...)
