German speakers certainly use the word "kompilieren" which developed independently of the English "compile" a few hundred years ago. For computer programs it is used of course following the English example.
They don't have their own word for "commit". Instead they use the English one as a loan word. However, it follows all the regular grammar rules ("Ich habe das gestern committet"). Loan words are nothing new. They are adopted and merged into languages and often they reach a point where people don't notice anymore that they are foreign to the language.
Nowadays English is the major source of loan words. Before that it was French, and before that Latin. English is not taking over any more than the other two did.
