GitHub Repository

A repository is similar to a folder, and a GitHub repository becomes a folder that is available online on the cloud for people to download, access, and contribute. This folder contains the code files of the project, which other people can now use.

GitHub was introduced to share the repository with other people who are interested in something that the user is doing or contribute to the repository on which the user himself is interested. GitHub repository helps to connect people. A GitHub repository plays a vital role among the developers to develop something easy and make it available to the whole world.

You can customize access to each repository in your organization with granular permission levels.  The levels are read, triage, write, maintain, and admin.
