Git Commit in Git & GitHub

`git commit` saves your staged changes to Git history with a message. This message explains WHY you made the change, not just WHAT changed. "Add homepage" is better than "update files".

Each commit is like a snapshot of your project at that moment. You can always go back to any commit. Good commit messages help you (and teammates) understand the project's evolution.

When Priya and Arjun commit their work, they write clear messages like "Add navigation menu" or "Fix login button alignment". This makes it easy to understand the project history months later.
