The important thing to understand is that git is a blockchain

• globular-toast 5y ago
  It goes a lot further than just being a blockchain. Git is a DAG through and through. But this might actually be the best way to make some people understand it. I was gobsmacked one day when a colleague came into work and they were really excited as they'd realised git is actually a blockchain. I was stunned as it seemed so obvious, but if they only just realised then how had we been working successfully with git for so long?

    A blockchain is one linear branch. Git is just a tree of them, but they're all blockchains. The only other extremely important thing to understand about Git is that it has a way to name commits symbolically (branches and tags), and that those names can be changed, and that leads to understanding what a fast-forward and non-fast-forward change to a branch really is.

  So each commit is an NFT. Now, where’s my million dollars?
