# GitHub Repo - {Faster, Easier, Smarter Social Coding}

A Repo might sound small or  insignificant, however, it can do a great deal in helping every developer's work.

### What is all this about???
## What is all the Repo, Repo, Repo?

> **REPO** is short-form of **REPOSITORY**.

A Repository is a kind of a shelter or bank for storing and housing codes, where the owner of the code or permitted visitors can always look-up, edit, or make use of the code.

Surfing the internet, I came across a tool - **[GitHub](https://github.com)** which helps maintain projects in the open source community.

**GitHub** allows developers to manage some kind of cloud/online servers that house their codes in repositories.
