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."
某些功能可用于 所有存储库。 使用 GitHub Advanced Security 的企业可以使用其他功能。 有关详细信息,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."
Setting a security policy
- From the main page of your repository, click Security.
- Click Security policy.
- Click Start setup.
- Add information about supported versions of your project and how to report vulnerabilities.
For more information, see "Adding a security policy to your repository."
Managing the dependency graph
企业所有者可以为企业配置 依赖项关系图和 Dependabot alerts。 有关详细信息,请参阅 “为企业启用依赖项关系图和 “为企业启用 Dependabot ”。
For more information, see "Exploring the dependencies of a repository."
Managing Dependabot alerts
Dependabot alerts are generated when GitHub identifies a dependency in the dependency graph with a vulnerability.
企业所有者可以为企业配置 依赖项关系图和 Dependabot alerts。 有关详细信息,请参阅 “为企业启用依赖项关系图和 “为企业启用 Dependabot ”。
For more information, see "About Dependabot alerts."
Managing dependency review
Dependency review lets you visualize dependency changes in pull requests before they are merged into your repositories. For more information, see "About dependency review."
Dependency review is a GitHub Advanced Security feature. To enable dependency review for a repository, ensure that the dependency graph is enabled and enable GitHub Advanced Security.
- From the main page of your repository, click Settings.
- Click Security & analysis.
- Check that dependency graph is configured for your enterprise.
- If GitHub Advanced Security is not already enabled, click Enable.
Configuring code scanning
You can set up code scanning to automatically identify vulnerabilities and errors in the code stored in your repository by using a CodeQL analysis workflow or third-party tool. For more information, see "Setting up code scanning for a repository."
Code scanning is available for organization-owned repositories if your enterprise uses GitHub Advanced Security.
Configuring secret scanning
Secret scanning is available for organization-owned repositories if your enterprise uses GitHub Advanced Security. Secret scanning may already be enabled for your repository, depending upon your organization's settings.
- From the main page of your repository, click Settings.
- Click Security & analysis.
- If GitHub Advanced Security is not already enabled, click Enable.
- Next to Secret scanning, 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 Dependabot alerts," "Managing code scanning for your repository," and "Managing alerts from secret scanning."
