Morphology

code + repository

The meaning is directly compositional: 'code' (program instructions) + 'repository' (a place for storage) yields a place where code is stored, managed, and shared. This noun+noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Code repository combines code and repository, where code means the program text and a repository is a place that stores things. Imagine a shared cupboard or library where programmers put code so others can take, change and add files, and that is why it means 'a central place to store and share code'.
