Terminology
Git has a lot of terminology
repository working directory commit index the full set of files
and history lives in .git directory the visible files of your project everything outside of .git a snapshot of your project staging area for next commit

commit add checkout clone

The anatomy of a commit
Every commit is identified by a SHA1 hash
A hash function maps data of variable length to data
of fixed length, predictably
Digest::SHA1.hexdigest('foo') 0beec7b5ea3f0fdbc95d0dd47f3c5bc275da8a33 SHA1
Git hashes the contents and attributes of a commit
Actions contents attributes files and directories changed, added or deleted
SHA of parent commit message
c14f2de blob a20b616 blob bc4d0fb blob commit tree parent author
committer message 000742a 38a0164 1f62407 duien duien ... tree tree blob 38a0164 7095bff bc4d0fb tree blob blob 7095bff c14f2de a20b616
