Commit
Definition
A saved snapshot of your code at a specific point in time, like a checkpoint in a game. Each commit has a message describing what changed and why.
Why it matters
Good commits create a readable history of every decision made in a codebase. They make debugging faster, collaboration clearer, and rollbacks safe.
Example
A developer commits "Fix: checkout button not submitting on mobile", anyone reading the history knows exactly what this change did and why it exists.
