Project vs Repository in GitHub

Question

In GitHub, what is the conceptual difference between a project (that can be created inside a repository) and a repository?

Answer 1

The conceptual difference in my understanding it that a project can contain many repo's and that are independent of each other, while simultaneously a repo may contain many projects. Repo's being just a storage place for code while a project being a collection of tasks for a certain feature.

Does that make sense? A large repo can have many projects being worked on by different people at the same time (lots of difference features being added to a monolith), a large project may have many small repos that are separate but part of the same project that interact with each other - microservices? Its a personal take on what you want to do. I think that repo (storage) vs project (tasks) is the main difference - if i am wrong please let me know / explain! Thanks.
