Git repository can be considered as a chain of commits as shown in below image. In below image, C1 is the first commit. C2 is the second commit. C2 will point to C1. If we add on more commit say C3, C3 will point to C2. There is special pointer called as HEAD which always points to the currently checked out commit. If you want to view the history of Git commits, you can use below command.
