What is a git commit and what does the commit object contain?..

Answer / Ravi Ratnakar Choudhary

A Git commit represents a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. It includes the changes made to the files, a commit message describing those changes, metadata like author information, date, and parent commit hashes. The commit object also contains a unique identifier (hash), which allows for easy tracking and reference of each commit.
