Introduction
A source code repository is the third-party application that wraps up and enhances the version
control system. In order to utilize a code repository in the project, it is essential to have an
underlying version control system in place. These version control systems are the low-level
command line utilities which are applied to handle the changes that are made during the
software development lifecycle process in the source code files.
There are several benefits that are provided by a code repository. The primary reason to use a
code repository is the documentation and ease of feedback that gets attached with the project
with the inclusion of a code repository. In case, the project is open-source, then the use of
open-source code repository makes it easier to include in-depth documentation. There is a
simple text editor included in these code repositories to write formatted documents. These
allow the inclusion of user comments or issue trackers with extreme convenience. There are
usually scenarios wherein multiple people and entities are associated and collaborated with a
project. It then becomes difficult to keep a track of the changes and developments across the
project timeline. The use of code repository makes it easier to keep a track of all of such
changes. The code repositories can also integrate with some of the common platforms, such
as Amazon and Google Cloud to keep a track of the feedback (Ac, 2018). These can highlight
the syntax in more than 200 different programming languages.
There are numerous code repositories available online and in the market to choose from. For
instance, GitHub is one of the widely used code repositories that provide a developer-
focussed environment. The code repository provides a fair bandwidth and storage policy.
Some of the key features that come along with the repository are ability to write better codes,
collaborations, code security, and access control. Bitbucket is another code repository that
comes with an abundant set of features, such as flexible deployment models, secured
workflow, code reviews, JIRA integration, and custom domains (Bitbucket, 2018).
SourceForge is an open-source code repository that can be used to host the projects on the
platforms, such as Linux, Windows, and Mac. The features, such as issue tracking and thread
discussion forums are available in the code repository. The code repositories have been
designed and launched to be used for several purposes (Stackify, 2018). There are open-
source and enterprise-grade repositories available and one such enterprise-grade code
repository is ProjectLocker. There is a web-based management console for managing users
