Securing your repository

Introduction

This guide shows you how to configure security features for a repository. You must be a repository administrator or organization owner to configure security settings for a repository.

Your security needs are unique to your repository, so you may not need to enable every feature for your repository. For more information, see "GitHub security features."

Some features are available for all repositories. Additional features are available to enterprises that use GitHub Advanced Security. 更多信息请参阅“关于 GitHub Advanced Security”。

Managing access to your repository

The first step to securing a repository is to set up who can see and modify your code. For more information, see "Managing repository settings."

From the main page of your repository, click Settings, then scroll down to the "Danger Zone."

• To change who can view your repository, click Change visibility. For more information, see "Setting repository visibility."

Managing the dependency graph

The dependency graph and Dependabot 警报 are configured at an enterprise level by the enterprise owner. For more information, see "Enabling the dependency graph for your enterprise" and "Enabling Dependabot for your enterprise."

For more information, see "Exploring the dependencies of a repository."

Managing Dependabot 警报

Dependabot 警报 are generated when GitHub identifies a dependency in the dependency graph with a vulnerability.

The dependency graph and Dependabot 警报 are configured at an enterprise level by the enterprise owner. For more information, see "Enabling the dependency graph for your enterprise" and "Enabling Dependabot for your enterprise."

For more information, see "About alerts for vulnerable dependencies."

Configuring 代� �扫描

You can set up 代� �扫描 to automatically identify vulnerabilities and errors in the code stored in your repository by using a CodeQL 分析工作流程 or third-party tool. For more information, see "Setting up 代� �扫描 for a repository."

代� �扫描 is available for organization-owned repositories if your enterprise uses GitHub Advanced Security.

Configuring 秘密扫描

秘密扫描 is available for organization-owned repositories if your enterprise uses GitHub Advanced Security. 秘密扫描 may already be enabled for your repository, depending upon your organization's settings.

1. From the main page of your repository, click Settings.
2. Click Security & analysis.
3. If GitHub Advanced Security is not already enabled, click Enable.
4. Next to 秘密扫描, click Enable.

Next steps

You can view and manage alerts from security features to address dependencies and vulnerabilities in your code. For more information, see "Viewing and updating vulnerable dependencies in your repository," "Managing 代� �扫描 for your repository," and "Managing alerts from 秘密扫描."
