Do I need to change any repository or security settings for my work?

[alialkhtri3-png]

Hello,

I use GitHub mainly for small or personal work-related projects.

I would like to ask if I need to change any repository or code security settings, or if the default settings are usually enough for this type of work.

Thank you.

you can always make the repo private/ public , that should handle everything .

also make sure not to share env or any other sensative info in the repo , use gitignore properly

شكرًا على التوضيح. صحيح، تحديد ما إذا كان المستودع عامًا أو خاصًا يحل جزءًا كبيرًا من المشكلة بحسب الهدف من المشروع. كما أؤكد على أهمية عدم مشاركة متغيرات البيئة أو أي معلومات حساسة داخل المستودع، والاعتماد على gitignore بالشكل الصحيح لمنع رفعها عن طريق الخطأ، مع استخدام ملفات .env محليًا فقط أو إعداد متغيرات البيئة عبر المنصات المستضيفة. أقدّر مشاركتك لهذه النصائح العملية. تحياتي، علي الخطري AliAlkhtri في الخميس، ١ يناير ٢٠٢٦, ٣:٤٢ ص Shanid Sajjatuz Islam < ***@***.***> كتب:

public or private repos that is all you need tbh and as for security stuffs just dont leak any private infos and ur good to go

على مستودعات عامة أو خاصة كافٍ في هذا السياق، ومع الالتزام بعدم تسريب أي معلومات حساسة (مثل مفاتيح الوصول أو البيانات الخاصة)، تبقى الأمور ضمن نطاق آمن ومقبول. سأحرص على اتباع أفضل الممارسات بهذا الخصوص. 🙏 AliAlkhtri في الخميس، ١ يناير ٢٠٢٦, ٧:٣٣ ص Franz Angelo ***@***.***> كتب:

I would recommend to create your companies repos as private.
You could also create a new account with your company email.

Make sure you have 2FA method configured and save your recovery codes.

Enable Secret scanning and Push protection to "On.".
Settings > Code security and analysis > Enable Secret scanning.
This features will automatically detects if you accidentally commit an API key, password, or token and alerts you, preventing you from pushing.

If you have company project in private repos you are safe from company info being leak. Other than this, keep your account safe.
