Explanations

This project works on the way git records commit. Whenever you commit something, git puts an Unix Timestamp on it to record when you committed it. An Unix Timestamp is the way computers store the current time. An Unix timestamp is a 32-bit number which stores the number of seconds that has passed from January 1st, 1970 at UTC, the Unix Epoch.
