Code Security Configurations Now Support Archived Repositories: A GitHub Changelog Update

Previously, code security configurations were only applied to active repositories. This could lead to security vulnerabilities going undetected in archived projects, potentially putting organizations at risk. With the new support for archived repositories, organizations can ensure that all of their code is continuously scanned for security issues, regardless of its current state.

To enable code security configurations for an archived repository, simply navigate to the repository’s settings page and select the “Security” tab. From there, you can enable or disable various security features, such as secret scanning and dependency reviews.

This is a welcome addition to GitHub’s code security offerings, and it will help organizations to improve their overall security posture.
