Securing your Workflows

Build and host a secure repository in GitHub.

A secure repository is important for many reasons.

• Prevents exposing sensitive data
• Enforces secure development best practices
• Guards against unintended access rights permissions

In this course you will learn how to:

• Opt-in to vulnerability alerts for private repositories
  • Note: These security settings are default for public repositories that are not forks.
• Detect and fix vulnerable dependencies when notified by a vulnerability alert
• Follow security best practices to protect sensitive data by using a .gitignore file
