Think about it. could we have a DevOps or even agile without code repositories (repos)? Repos allow for version control, team collaboration, testing on check in and more. So much of what we do today around software development and DevOps is based on the repo.
For a long time and even today, the repo was sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of software tools. In spite of how important it is, it didn’t get the respect it deserved. Of course that changed a bit when Microsoft laid out all those billions of dollars for GitHub. But even then, the narrative was Microsoft paid that much to reach all those millions of developers that used GitHub. Not for all of the great features and functionality GitHub delivered to its million users.
