Frequently Asked Questions

What is a source code repository?

It is a store for code and its full history, usually built on Git, that lets teams branch, review and merge changes and trigger builds.

Which platform is the most widely used?

GitHub and GitLab are the most widely used hosted platforms, with Bitbucket and Azure Repos common in teams that use Atlassian or Microsoft tooling.

Can I host Git myself?

Yes. Gitea and Forgejo are lightweight self-hosted options, and GitLab also offers a self-managed edition.

What is the difference between Git and GitHub?

Git is the distributed version-control system; GitHub is a hosted service that adds collaboration features such as pull requests, issues and Actions.

How are repositories related to CI/CD?

Commits and pull requests usually trigger pipelines, so repositories and CI/CD tools are tightly connected; see the CI/CD Tools page.
