Codebase

A codebase is the complete collection of all the source code—written instructions—that make up a software application or system. It includes everything developers write, edit, and maintain to create the software’s features and functions. Think of it as a digital blueprint or a detailed writing project where each part of the code works together to deliver a specific purpose. A well-organized codebase allows developers to efficiently update, troubleshoot, and expand the software over time. It’s essentially the foundation and ongoing record of a software’s development.
