Question

why source code repositories are critical to cloud computing. Why are source code repositories a better approach than other past methods?  

Answer 1

SCR(Source code repository) are critical to cloud computing in the cloud computing our code should be on the cloud no need of a physical system to run the code .storing a repository in the cloud eliminates all the worries and tenstions of data loss due to hardware of physical system failure.the codebase can be aacess by any aurthorized user.

Source Code Repositories are better approach than past methods because on a project there are multiple developer are working on the same code and in the other methods it is difficult to handle to intigrate all the changes at the end so in the source code repository multiple developers can work on the single codebase. In SCR developers can work parrlel on different tasks and merge all the code later it is very easy in SCR(Source code repository)

It also gives the version control facility we can see every changes with the details and if somthing happen wrong we can go back to last version.it tracks entire history of the codebase when , who changes the code

SCR is a part of the Source code management (SCM).there are lots of tool to do this like Git, and we can make SCR on the sites like Github,bitbucket,gitLab etc.
