VCS Commit¶
A commit is a snapshot of source code at a specific point in time. It is a fundamental feature of a version control system.
It records changes made to the files in the project, such as adding, modifying, and deleting code. Each commit has a unique identifier, a SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash, a message describing the changes, and metadata such as the author name, email, and timestamp.
Several commits are grouped into a pull request or PR, for code review. Commit message conventions such as Conventional Commits help automate changelogs and semantic versioning.
See also git-commit reference, Conventional Commits specification and Git internals: commits and objects.
