GitHub Enhances Code Security Configurations for Archived Repositories

Previously, archived repositories were excluded from code security configurations, potentially creating a security gap. With this update, developers can now apply the same security settings to archived repositories as they do to active ones, ensuring that all code is protected by the same set of rules and policies.

This change is particularly beneficial for organizations that need to comply with strict security regulations or that have a large number of archived repositories. By extending code security configurations to these repositories, GitHub helps to ensure that all code is protected from potential threats.

Key takeaways:

Code security configurations now support archived repositories.
This ensures consistent security posture across all code, including inactive projects.
Helps organizations comply with security regulations and protect against threats.

This update is a valuable addition to GitHub’s security features, providing developers with greater control over the security of their code. By extending support to archived repositories, GitHub helps to ensure that all code is protected, regardless of its current development status.
