Visualize every Git changes to a file at once?

Question

Given the discussion around commit messages I would like to know if there is any tool that can visualize every change to a file in one go?I want to vertically visualize the history of a given file over time and not simply by to different commits.Something like this:[Commit1] File.txt: hello world[Commit2] File.txt: world hello[Commit3] File.txt: hello walloI dont want to use git blame to shuffle around all the changes, but I want all the changes and the whole file to be visualized in one big list.Does it make sense ?

You can view both the log and the diffs combined into 1 output.

    git log -p -- filename

This can be a bit overwhelming with huge output, so I prefer to view the history log and the diffs separately.

I pipe the raw log into tig, a viewer that provides some interactivity.

    git log -- filename | tig

Within tig you can use Vim-like searching to jump around to and view diffs, etc.

    # navigate to each commits with vim-like search
    /commit 
    # press "n" to go to next commit
    n
    # press Enter to see diff, q to quit diff window
     q
