Answer

Git repository is a special database that contains the data of the versioned project.

It contains current version of the project together with all previous versions of the project - all files, all directories and complete history of all changes with information who did each change and when.

  • When you have access to the repository of the project, you have access to all source files and complete history of the project.
  • When you do any changes to your files and submit the changes, the Git version control system saves the changes to the repository.
