How does Git handle immutable data?

Can you explain how Git manages immutable data?

Sure! Git treats data as immutable by using a unique hash for each commit, ensuring that once data is saved, it cannot be changed.

What happens if I try to modify a file in Git?

Instead of modifying the existing file, Git creates a new version of the file with a new hash, preserving the original.

Why is immutability important in version control?

Immutability ensures data integrity, allowing users to track changes over time without losing previous versions.

Can I delete a commit in Git?

You can remove a commit, but it will still exist in the history until garbage collection is performed, maintaining data integrity.
