Commit

A saved snapshot of changes

A recorded snapshot of a selected set of changes, with metadata and a message. It is a useful recovery and review point, but only for content actually committed.

Concrete example

An agent fixes a bug and commits it with the message “fix login error” — a point you can always come back to.

Why it matters

The undo points of a project; good commit messages are the story of how it was built.
