What Is Commit In Git ?

​

Git commit command is used to fetch updates from staging area to the repository.Staging allows us to continue in making changes to the repository,and when we want to share these changes to version control system,commit comes into the picture.It allows to record these changes.It's like a snapshot of the project.

Every commit recorded in the master branch of the repository.

After staging commit is the next step in git.
