I don't open source my code bc I don't understand git
it's just linked lists of commits (except when merging)
I don't understand linked lists
In internet terms: It's just a soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another soyjak holding a box with data who is pointing at another {insert N-3 of the same soyjaks} soyjak with a box with data without an arm to point with
I don't understand what a soyjak is.

each commit points to the one before. additionally a commit stores which lines in which files changed compared to the previous commit. a branch points to a particular commit.
