Explanation of Each Part

1. Commit Hash

• Each commit starts with a unique identifier called a commit hash (e.g., 94ebf5f). This is a shortened version of the full hash that uniquely identifies the commit.

2. References (Branches and Tags)

• Following the commit hash, you might see references like branches and tags:
  • HEAD -> ramukaka: Indicates that the HEAD is pointing to the ramukaka branch. The HEAD represents the current commit your working directory is pointing to.
  • (tag: rel1.0, master): Indicates that this commit is tagged with rel1.0 and is also the tip of the master branch.
  • (origin/master, origin/HEAD): Indicates that the commit is the latest commit in the remote master branch and is also the default branch (HEAD) of the remote repository.

3. Commit Message

• After the commit hash and references, you see the commit message (e.g., ramukka, cherry2, file10). This message was provided by the user when the commit was created and typically describes the changes made in that commit.
