Revision as of 17:32, 18 October 2013

A source code repository is a file archive and web hosting facility where large amounts of source code are kept, either publicly or privately. They are often used by open-source projects and other multi-developer projects to handle various versions. They help developers submit patches of code in an organized fashion. Often these web sites support version control, bug tracking, release management, mailing lists, and wiki-based documentation.

Note 1: GitHub Blog: Those are some big numbers. The number of non-forks and forks were taken from searches done in a logged out session, so only public repositories are included. The last public gist number is a good estimate of total gists, since all gists, public or private, are numbered sequentially.

This ensures a level of quality for projects hosted at Savannah, and even more important, raises awareness of these legal and philosophical issues related to free software."
