What is commiting?

Committing refers to the act of saving changes made to a file or a set of files in a software project. In version control systems like Git, committing is an essential step in order to track the progress of a project and keep a history of all the changes made to it.

When you make changes to a file or set of files, you can commit those changes with a commit message that briefly describes the changes you made. This message helps other collaborators on the project understand why the changes were made.

Once you commit your changes, they are permanently saved in your local repository. From there, you can push your changes to a remote repository, where others can see and review your changes.

Committing is an important aspect of collaboration, as it allows team members to work on different parts of the project independently and then merge their changes together later. Good commit practices involve committing frequently, writing informative commit messages, and reviewing changes before committing.
