Source Code Management

In Source Code Management, a repository is a common place where the developer will check in and check out (download the code into a local system or environment) the code. This repository manages the various versions of source code that are checked in and available for checkout, so the developers will not overwrite other people's code.

This is the major component of Continuous Integration; some of the popular source code repository tools are Git, Bitbucket, and Subversion (SVN).
