Dev Site: A continuous deployment of a web site or web application. This is typically built from the primary branch (e.g. main or dev) of a project’s development repository. A dev site is typically used for testing the latest in development code/changes.

Production Site: The instance of the site that is deployed for actual use. For example if it’s for a website, this would be the site that visitors interact with.

Repository (repo): This typically refers to a projects code base. Often this will be in GitHub or other source code repository.

Staging Site: A testing site that attempts to closely resemble the final production site in terms of deployment and potentially content. The purpose is to test changes before they are pushed live to the production site.
