Introduction to GitHub product features

Here, we will discuss GitHub products, the main top-level features you will be interacting with throughout a software development lifecycle.

Repos

Repositories, or repos for short, are the fundamental building blocks of GitHub. They are used to store and manage source code, documentation, and other project-related files. Repos can be public or private and can be owned by an individual or an organization. In an organization, there is a third repository visibility called internal. Public repositories are visible to anyone on the internet, private repos are visible only to the owners and anyone else given explicit access to them, while internal repos are visible to anyone within an organization. In addition to files, you will also find that many other GitHub product features are accessible in a repository, which means they host both Git-tracked content and other project-level tools and integrations.
