What is a Code Repository

A code repository is a central location where software developers can store, manage, and collaborate on code and other software development assets. This can help to improve code quality, productivity, and security.

Why do you need a code repository? 

Security - Code repositories can help to improve security by providing a way to track change to code and identify potential vulnerabilities early on. This can help to prevent attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in your code. 

Collaboration - Code repositories can improve collaboration by making it easy for developers to share code and to work on the same project together, which can speed up development and improve the quality of code.

Productivity - Code repositories can improve productivity by providing a central location for storing and managing code. This can save time and effort by eliminating the need to manually track changes to code or to search for files.
