Commit your changes

If you like your changes and want to keep them, you should Commit them. A commit is like a snapshot of your project at a certain point in time. It’s an encapsulated unit of change in your repository. When you commit your changes, any collaborators you have in your project will be able to see them.
If your collaborators are on the same branch as your are, assuming they have no conflicting changes, the changes you commit will be automatically synced to their workspaces.For more info, check out the Branches page.
To commit your changes, choose which files you want to include in the commit, write an informative commit message, and click Commit. You can choose to commit all changes, using the checkbox above the list, or only some of them. Choose files to commit You should try to keep your commits small and focused, and your commit messages should be descriptive and informative. Remember, even if you’re working alone - Future You will thank you for it. When you’re ready, hit the commit button! Your changes are now saved in your repository.
