bri3d on Note the commit hash

Not random.

A Git commit is one kind of "object" in git. Objects in Git are hashed like so:

SHA1("[objecttype] [objectlen]\0[objectdata]")

and a commit object looks like this (blatantly stolen from the Stripe V3 CTF):

    tree #{tree}
    parent #{parent}
    author CTF user <me@example.com> #{timestamp} +0000
    committer CTF user <me@example.com> #{timestamp} +0000

    Give me a Gitcoin

The "tree" in the commit is the hash tree reference that actually points to your code.
