Repository
Code Repository
Definition
A folder that contains all the code, files, and history for a project, tracked by Git. Usually shortened to "repo." Can be public (open source) or private.
Why it matters
Keeping your code in a repository means your work is backed up, versioned, and shareable. It's the standard unit of a software project.
Example
A founder creates a private GitHub repository for her SaaS app, grants her developer access, and reviews every change via pull requests.
