Commit (javers-core 6.4.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.javers.core.commit.Commit

```
public final class Commit
extends java.lang.Object
```
JaVers commit is a similar concept to GIT commit. It records snapshots of changed domain objects.

One commit can affect one or more domain objects.

Commit holds following data:
- who did change the data - CommitMetadata.getAuthor()
- when the change was made - CommitMetadata.getCommitDate()
- list of atomic changes between two domain object graphs - getChanges()
- list of Snapshots of affected objects - getSnapshots()

- Method Detail
  - getId
```
public CommitId getId()
```
    Monotonically increasing id, e.g. 1.0, 2.0, ...
  - getAuthor
```
public java.lang.String getAuthor()
```
  - getProperties
```
public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getProperties()
```
  - getCommitDate
```
public java.time.LocalDateTime getCommitDate()
```
    Commit creation timestamp in local time zone
  - getCommitDateInstant
```
public java.time.Instant getCommitDateInstant()
```
    Commit creation timestamp in UTC.
    
    Since 5.1, commitDateInstant is persisted in JaversRepository to provide reliable chronological ordering, especially when CommitIdGenerator.RANDOM is used.
    
    Commits persisted by JaVers older then 5.1 have commitDateInstant guessed from commitDate and current TimeZone
    
    Since:
    
    5.1
