What is changeset in Git? I keep hearing this term said, but cannot seem to find the answer online, and wikipedia is very vague. Is it if you commit 5 files at once via a git repository and type git log and see a single commit for that 5 files, that entire change is called a changeset?

First commit
This entire thing would be a changeset?

A changeset is the list of differences between two successive versions in the repository. As such it is analogous to a commit, or revision. The term 'changeset' is used to be independant of the terminology used for each type of repository.
Run the command line script npx changeset or yarn changeset . Select the packages you want to include in the changeset using ↑ and ↓ to navigate to packages, and space to select a package. Hit enter when all desired packages are selected. Your final prompt will be to provide a message to go alongside the changeset.
In version control software, a changeset is a formally collected set of commits that should be treated as a group. Examples of changesets could be: The changes between two successive versions of a repository (an atomic package). The commits involved in releasing a certain feature.
The @changesets/cli package allows you to write changeset files as you make changes, then combine any number of changesets into a release, that flattens the bump-types into a single release per package, handles internal dependencies in a multi-package-repository, and updates changelogs, as well as release all updated ...
As was mentioned by the other folks as well, a changeset is essentially one indivisible change. Indivisible simply means that a changeset is one single value in the stack of changes that are being made on a codebase. For example, if you look at a commit, you can check what individual files were modified, what was the previous state of the codebase and after, which would make it adhere to what a changeset is.
