Software repository

A software repository is a centralized storage space where software programs, tools, and their updates are kept. Think of it like a library for digital applications; developers use repositories to share their software with others while users can download and install these applications easily. Repositories help manage versions, ensuring that users get the latest features and security fixes. They can be public, allowing anyone to access and contribute, or private, restricted to specific users or organizations. Overall, they streamline the process of software distribution and collaboration among developers and users.
