Repository Repo

Programming På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

A folder that tracks the entire history of a project — every change, by whom, when, why.

In practice almost always a Git repo. Hosted on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or self-hosted. Lets multiple people work in parallel without overwriting each other.

Core concepts: commit (a saved change), branch (parallel line of development), merge (combine branches), pull request (review before merge).
