:tada: 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.

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

In this course you will learn how to:

• Opt-in to vulnerability alerts for private repositories
  • Note: These security settings are default for public repositories that are not forks.
• Detect and fix vulnerable dependencies when notified by a vulnerability alert
• Automate outdated dependency detection with dependabot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.

:keyboard: 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.

Great work. Make sure to complete the first few steps in your settings. Then, you should be able to see your published [memory game on GitHub Pages]().
