code repository

A code repository is a digital storage space where programmers save and organize their computer code. Think of it as a well-maintained online library or folder system for software projects. It allows developers to share, update, and collaborate on code efficiently. Repositories often include version history, so changes can be tracked and reversed if needed. They also facilitate teamwork by managing different versions and contributions, ensuring everyone works with the latest information. Common platforms for repositories are GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, which help maintain, review, and collaborate on software development processes.
