title: Is there a shorthand for the previous version of a file in Git?
body: <p>What I want is something like -<br>
      <code>git checkout FHEAD~ path/filename</code></p>
  
  <p>What I currently do is find the previous version of the file via -<br>
      <code>git log -1 --skip=1 path/filename</code></p>
  
  <p>and then,<br>
      <code>git checkout &lt;previous-commit-hash&gt; path/filename</code></p>
