Depending on your change delivery model, you should typically use a source code management tool, such as Git, which also helps with collaboration for developing code as a team. Your source code must be stored in a repository that supports your management tool. You have internet-facing options such as GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure Repos, and others. Alternatively, you can establish your own on-premise platform behind your firewall.

This is the starting point of your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) approach. You can use the source code repository and establish a pipeline to automate your software delivery...
