Commit

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap

In short

`git commit` saves a snapshot of your staged changes with a message — the fundamental unit of history in Git.

How to learn this

  1. 1Practice small, focused commits rather than one giant commit per day.
  2. 2Write commit messages in the imperative mood ('Add', not 'Added').
  3. 3Learn `git commit --amend` to fix your most recent commit message.
