the.com/repository

Where code goes to be remembered, blamed, and occasionally read.

means A place where things—files, documents, data—are stored and kept available for later use.

from From Latin 'repositorium,' a storage chest, built from 'reponere' meaning 'to put back' or 'set aside' ('re-' again + 'ponere' to put). The same root gives us 'deposit' and 'position'—all variations on the ancient act of placing something somewhere and trusting it'll still be there later.
