What does it mean to save a snapshot in Git?
Every time we do COMMIT git will save snapshots to disk instead of the delta between the new version to the old version of the same file. Even if we just changed one letter of one file, git will save the whole file as a snapshot. This also called the loose object format.

How to save a git commit to a remote server?

git commit The “commit” command is used to save your changes to the local repository.

Why does Git copy changes from one repository to another?
Git aims to keep commits as lightweight as possible. So, it doesn’t blindly copy the entire directory every time you commit; it includes commit as a set of changes, or “delta” from one version of the repository to the other. In easy words, it only copies the changes made in the repository.
