You can do this via git blame filename.

Beware, this will show the last person to edit a line, and not necessarily who added it, which would be in the commit history. – Alexander O'Mara Oct 05 '16 at 05:43

To see who was the last person to touch each line of code, use git blame. To see which commits inserted or removed certain pattern/lines that you're interested in, use the pickaxe. It helps you find which commits made changes that match a pattern you're interested in (e.g. "who changed this line use a debug rather that critical logger" even if the line currently is critical).

You can use git blame with the -L option, where n is the first line and m the last line inspected. The following example will show the last commit done to line number 10.

git blame -L 10,10

If you want the complete history including the first commit (you ask for when the line was added), you can use git log, e.g:

git log -L 10,10:myFile.txt
