🎉 Welcome to security strategy essentials!

In this course, you'll learn how to build and host a secure repository in GitHub. A secure repository is important for many reasons, including:

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

In this course you will learn how to:

• Opt-in to security alerts for private repositories
  • Note: Vulnerability monitoring and security alerts are enabled by default for public repositories that are not forks.
• Fix vulnerable dependencies when notified by a security alert
• Automate security fixes with Dependabot
• Follow security best practices to protect sensitive data by using a .gitignore file
• Remove sensitive data and files committed to a repository

New to GitHub?

For this course, you'll need to be comfortable with the GitHub Flow. If you need a refresher on the GitHub flow, check out the the Introduction to GitHub course.

Step 1: Your project on GitHub Pages

This project is centered around a memory game that will be deployed with GitHub Pages.

⌨️ Activity: Enable GitHub Pages

1. Click the Settings tab in your repository.
2. Scroll down to GitHub Pages. Select master as a Source, and click Save.

Turning on GitHub Pages creates a deployment of your repository. I may take up to a minute to respond as I await the deployment.

Sometimes I respond too fast for the page to update! If you perform an expected action and don't see a response from me, wait a few seconds. Then refresh the page for your next steps.
