The git version control system.

Yup. It's a commit in git, but yes, there's a command and it's store in the git history as an event.

Git doesn't really. It does have a (more or less) immutable, append-only model, but the things stored in git are state snapshots, not events. The UI does tend to present it as if it were events but that's just for convenience.
