Repository

A repository (repo) is a digital location where files of a project are stored and managed along with their version history.

Functionality and Use

In software development, a repository is used to centrally store and track the entire source code of a project and any changes made to it. Changes to files are saved versioned. This allows previous states of a project to be viewed or restored at any time.

Examples

• GitHub repository for a software project
• Repo with website source code
• Repo for an open source project
• Repo with documentation files
