Editing file using SHA - git

My question is perhaps very basic, but how do I edit a specific file from a version commit (whose author is a colleague working on the same remote repo as me) from which I know the SHA ?

git checkout hashOfCommit path/to/file

You can then edit the file and commit your changes to the branch you are on currently.

If what you want is to get the content of the file, you can do

 git show someHash:pathToFile

If you want to see the differences between current version of the file with the one of the commit, you may do

 git diff someHash pathToFile

If you want to replace current version of the file with the one of the commit, you may do

 git reset --hard someHash pathToFile
