I’ve deleted a file with Git and then committed, so the file is no longer in my working copy. I want to look at the contents of that file, but not actually restore it. How can I do this?

You can use an explicit commit identifier or
HEAD~nto see older versions or if there has been more than one commit since you deleted it.
