Introduction

IT is so common to use Git as a version control system (VCS) in many IT companies, teams and open source communities. This post is neither focusing on telling the story of Git nor being a tutorial. Actually, there are already many nice sources and ebooks on web which can be used as a tutorial to learn what git is and how one can utilize git to build a version control system. So, I thought it would be fine to present a new point of view of git commits to make it simpler to understand and more easy to “read” git commit graphs by a tiny demonstration and presentation of the resulting commit graphs. I will present the subject with a gallery of screenshot images (of commits, merges, git log, etc. commands) along with explanations.
