[description]
So a tree describes a directory structure at a specific point in time.
It would be nice if we could remember when that state existed, and who authored it, right?
Enter: commits. They are objects that point to a tree and contain some additional metadata. You can create a commit using
git commit-tree <tree> -m "Description of your commit"
Make a commit from the tree in this repository!
