Dataverse Git Integration: Commit Code Changes To A Git Repo

The Dataverse Git Integration can be used to commit changes to a git repository. A git commit takes a snapshot of the project in its current state and saves it into the repo. It includes a message from the developer explaining the updates made in the commit. This makes it possible to revert back to that version if needed later on.
