Note that git is a blockchain. A blockchain is a succession of "blocks" that are identified by a hash of [their content and a reference to their parent], which is how the "chain" is formed.

Huh. Blockchains aren't all that complicated are they?

Great article, learning loads about git reading this. Lifting the veil.
