repositories
Places holding collections
Repositories are places where things are stored or collected.
A warehouse may be a repository for goods, a library for books, an archive for documents.
The word often implies systematic organization and preservation: The museum serves as a repository of cultural artifacts.
In computing, a repository (or repo) holds source code and its version history, allowing developers to track changes and collaborate: Clone the repository from GitHub.
