Ever wondered about a Git Commit ID ?
(A super long SHA1 Hash String 😅)
- A Git commit ID is an SHA-1 hash of every important thing about the commit.
- It stores :
- The content of commit as a BLOB.
- Commit date.
- Committer's name and email address.
- Log message.
- The ID of the previous commit(s).
- Try it out to find more information about a Git Commit ID.
$ git cat-file commit <commit_id>
