When Was This File Added to Version Control?

I learned a helpful Git command today. To determine when a file was added to version control, run the following:

$ git log --follow --diff-filter=A <filename>

This returns the Git history, following files through renames, filtering on when a file was added to version control. Here's the output for the README of 'Today I Learned':

$ git log --follow --diff-filter=A README.md

Useful for explaining mystery files in the repository 🔎.
