Git show diff in certain file

I'm using Github GUI and I've an old version of my project called 2.4, but the difference in a certain file is too big to be visible.

Can i through the commandline show the diff in the commit at: 8f135b0 ?

The command:

git show 8f135b0

... which show you the change introduced by that commit as a diff, as well as the commit message and other details.

Between what and what? Current and the old commit?

git diff HEAD 8f135b0

More generally, git-diff can take two commits and show the diffs between them. HEAD is a symbolic name for the current head you are in.

See man git-diff for more info.
