the former is usually the first creation of the commit, i.e. when the first person created the commit containing that data. however, git allows you (and others) to "edit" commits (speaking in simplified terms, anyway). That's what the committer date says
+ [2015-10-26T00:13:17Z] Mylon I made a branch dedicated to a pull request. If I make further changes to that branch, will it continue to add to the pull request I have already submitted?

+ [2015-10-26T08:12:23Z] Wulf Is there some way to link to a specific version of file? E.g. I want to link to current version of https://github.com/docker-library/mysql/blob/master/5.7/docker-entrypoint.sh and the link should always show the same file even if someone pushes something new
