The repository is simply a directory where you can centrally store the files used in your PDQ Deploy packages. Files downloaded from the Package Library are stored in this directory.
By default, the repository is located at %PUBLIC%\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository; however, you can locate the repository anywhere you like by using the Repository settings in Preferences. The structure of the repository isn't enforced in any way, you can organize it however you wish.
The repository is referenced with PDQ Deploy as the system variable, $(Repository). The variable name is not case sensitive. It can be used in any package install file name. For example, with the repository set to \\FileServer\Deploy\Packages, a package install file name of $(Repository)\Adobe\Flash.msi expands to \\FileServer\Deploy\Packages\Adobe\Flash.msi.
IMPORTANT: While the repository can be any directory, it's necessary to use a UNC path if you're using pull copy mode so that the target computers are able to read from it. You must also use a UNC path if you are sharing the repository with multiple administrators.
For a demonstration on changing the repository or sharing it with multiple administrators, see the following videos.
