    git checkout 'master@{7 days ago}' -- path/to/file.txt

    This will not alter HEAD, it will just overwrite the local file path/to/file.txt

    See man git-rev-parse for possible revision specifications there (of course a simple hash (like dd9bacb) will do nicely)

    Don’t forget to commit the change (after a review…)
