Repository

• A repository is a storage location for a project's files along with the complete history of changes made to those files.
  • Repositories are the root abstraction of most Version/Control systems, such as git, mercurial, svn, and cvs.
  • A repository typically maps to a single project or codebase managed under source/control/management.

  • Types

    • Local repository — a copy of the project on a developer's machine
    • Remote repository — a hosted copy, often on platforms like GitHub or GitLab
    • Bare repository — a repository without a working directory, typically used as a central hub
