[**A repository in GitHub**](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161745/what-is-the-difference-between-git-and-github) is a **storage space** where your project's files, code, and revision history are stored.

It can contain:

- Code files
- Folders
- README
- Commit history
- Branches and more

Think of it as a **project folder** on GitHub.
