Set Up Code Repository

Code Repositories facilitate the tracking and versioning of changes developers make to a software project; this enables several people to work on the same project simultaneously without creating conflicts among the changes and additions they make.

A repository manager is a dedicated server application designed to manage repositories (internal and third party) of binary components. The usage of a repository manager is a best practice for any significant usage of Maven.
