What are commits in GitHub?
Commit. A commit, or “revision”, is an individual change to a file (or set of files). When you make a commit to save your work, Git creates a unique ID (a.k.a. the “SHA” or “hash”) that allows you to keep a record of the specific changes committed along with who made them and when.
What language does GitHub use?
