Introduction to Repositories
A source code repository is a facility where large amounts of source code for software, web pages and other resources can be kept. These repositories are often used by open-source projects and other multi-developer projects to handle version control and to prevent loss due to local media failures. They allow developers to submit new or modified code in an organized fashion.
A lot of these repositories use a version control system called git. Git was developed by Linus Torvalds to be the repository for the Linux operating system.
