A Guide to Git & Version Control

## The `git commit` command
Once we have a local repository that is tracking our project, we will move towards creating our very first **commit**.

A commit is a snapshot of the entire state that your project is in at that moment. Git keeps track of your project through a series, or chain, of commits. The most recent snapshot of your repository is referred to as the **HEAD**.

As soon as you create a new commit, it will directly link to the *HEAD*. However, since the latest commit is now the most recent one, it will be considered the *HEAD* instead, replacing the previous one.
