using Sentry and GitHub separately, or building a deployment workflow for the first time, you can follow these steps to create an automated workflow for your team","body":"By: Angela Jiang, Product Marketing Manager @Sentry\n\n*[Sentry](https://sentry.io/welcome/) is an application monitoring platform that helps over 3.5 million developers see what actually matters, solve quicker, and learn continuously about their applications - from the frontend to the backend.*\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Toolchains are complicated—developers and engineering managers are working with more tools than they probably care to count. In order to maintain efficiency in today’s world, having smart integrations in place is becoming less of a nice-to-have and more of a necessity.\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nAt Sentry, we're focusing on [improving the developer workflow](https://blog.sentry.io/2022/05/06/workflow-2-0) and that means in part building deeper integrations with tools like Github to make it easier for developers to monitor every stage of the release cycle - giving developers a more automated deployment workflow to catch errors as quickly as code is shipped to production (with no superfluous button-clicking).\n\nWhether you’re already using Sentry and GitHub separately, or building a deployment workflow for the first time, you can follow these steps to create an automated workflow for your team:\n\n - [Sign in](https://sentry.io/auth/login/) to your Sentry account\n - Connect your [GitHub repositories to Sentry](https://docs.sentry.io/product/integrations/source-code-mgmt/github/) to begin tracking commit data\n - Import your GitHub CODEOWNERS file to [automatically map issues](https://docs.sentry.io/product/issues/issue-owners/#code-owners) to teams or people in Sentry\n - Install the [Sentry Release GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sentry-release) in GitHub to automatically upload sourcemaps, manage releases in Sentry and track how the release is trending\n\nCustomers like [Forethought](https://forethought.ai/), who have growing engineering teams and are shipping continuously, often operate with limited visibility into the code they ship and ownership over who should fix what once it's released. In Forethought’s case, integrating their GitHub CODEOWNERS file with Sentry allowed them to divide up and assign responsibilities to specific teams, [reducing their time to resolution by up to 94%](https://blog.sentry.io/2022/05/02/an-engineering-managers-tips-for-scaling-teams#defining-roles).\n\nIn addition to improving issue ownership, integrating GitHub with Sentry allows customers like Forethought to: \n- Automatically monitor the health of a new release and its impacts on users with Sentry Release GitHub Actions\n- Create or link GitHub issues directly in Sentry\n- Predict which commit caused an issue and who is likely responsible to resolve it\n- Link Sentry stack traces back to the GitHub source code to see the line of code causing an error\n- Resolve issues via a pull request or commit\n\nLet’s walk through an example of how customers typically use Sentry and GitHub together and how you can see the above in action.\n\nAfter a release is deployed, you head into your [Release Health](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/android/configuration/releases/#release-health) tab within Sentry to monitor the stability, user adoption, and issues in a release so you can identify and stop the roll out of a bad release before it impacts customers. Within Release Health, you will see historical commit details and key stats like user adoption, application usage, and crash-rates. You can also view new, unhandled, regressed issues, and related performance problems in each release. \n\n![Sentry screen shot](//images.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/6B01Y7E1ynj59MPXSjHGTq/09072f16a26588f0225dcdd20f8bc188/Sentry4.png)\n\nWith the [Sentry Release GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/sentry-release) installed, every new release (major or minor) will be automatically recorded and [suspect commits](https://docs.sentry.io/product/cli/releases/#sentry-cli-sourcemaps) automatically configured. Sentry will also upload the original, untransformed source code (aka [sourcemaps](https://docs.sentry.io/product/cli/releases/#sentry-cli-sourcemaps)) which un-minifies any Javascript code that is present. You can see when a release is not trending well by looking at key metrics such as the user adoption and crash-free session rate. \n\n![Sentry image 1](//images.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/6BynkLIwSS0z6L3GHO3CS0/e245a166103fb599c05df87db8f0d190/Sentry1.png)\n\nWith the GitHub CODEOWNERS file synced to Sentry’s Code Owners rules, Sentry will not only capture the issue impacting users, but will also surface the specific commit related to the issue and automatically suggest the right team member to triage the issue.

Or maybe you want to share ideas about new features you want to see as part of a future sprint. Discussions is designed to make community engagement simple and collaborative—and a popular use case among open source communities and teams is using it to share ideas and get feedback (take a look at \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/discussions/31599\"\u003ehow the open source community Gatsby did just this).\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscuss a new release:\u003c/b\u003e Some open source communities use Discussions to answer questions about a new release from their wider communities—that’s something we’ve seen to great effect from the React team, which \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/4\"\u003eused Discussions to field questions about its latest release\u003c/a\u003e (and explain a little more about what that release does, too). \u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpotlight important conversations by pinning them:\u003c/b\u003e Discussions supports pinning conversations and announcements to the top of the feed which makes it easy to make sure your community or team has access to important information. \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions\"\u003eA great example of this in action comes from the Next.JS community\u003c/a\u003e, which pins important and helpful conversations to the top of its Discussions board.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetermine hot topics in your community:\u003c/b\u003e You can sort all conversations in a given Discussions instance by how many upvotes they’ve received—and you can do this by day, month, year, or all time.

Try posting a Q\u0026A discussion to find an answer. And the best part: You can mark which responses are helpful answers so other people can quickly find out what helped you most. Want an example? Try checking out \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/jspsych/jsPsych/discussions/categories/q-a\"\u003ethe jsPsych community Discussion board\u003c/a\u003e, which features a number of Q\u0026A posts (with helpful answers marked). \u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoordinate engineering resources:\u003c/b\u003e Another popular use case for Discussions among some communities is coordinating team resources and sprint planning.

But when you ask a question, be sure to mark which reply answered your question. This can help you avoid duplicative content (or necro posting). It’s also a good practice to upvote any comment or reply that’s helpful or accurate.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"75%\" alt=\"discussions2\" src=\"https://resources.github.com/assets/img/whitepapers/discussions2.png\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e \n\u003cp class=\"text-center\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eA picture showing an answer that has been marked as helpful in a GitHub Discussions thread.\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eUse Discussions to trigger automations:\u003c/b\u003e Discussions supports the GraphQL API—and that means you can use GitHub Actions to trigger automations off of new Discussions and comment events. Popular use cases include triggering chat app notifications when a new Discussion or comment is created, and sending automatic updates to websites with key Discussions such as announcements. \u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTurn collaborators into moderators and assign them triage permissions.\u003c/b\u003e If your community is big enough, you’ll be well served by turning a number of collaborators into moderators to help you keep your Discussions instance running smoothly. You can do this by \u003ca href=\"https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/repository-roles-for-an-organization\"\u003eassigning triage permissions to people in your project\u003c/a\u003e.

These can include new features, fixing bugs, general updates, and tracking for epics and sprints, among other things.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBoth Issues and Discussions can help you be more productive and collaborative. But when they’re used together, you can be more efficient by reserving Issues and pull requests for active work and Discussions for conversations, questions, and community engagement. \n\nAnd there’s another benefit: You can reference a discussion in an issue, which can help provide background and context for a piece of work. You can also convert an issue into a discussion if you need additional information and decisions before a task can be completed.\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: -3px;\"\u003eHow to create an issue from a Discussion\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nDiscussions offers an asynchronous communication platform that saves historical information, notes, ideas, and more. The best part: \u003ca href=\"https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/creating-an-issue#creating-an-issue-from-discussion\"\u003eYou can create an issue directly from a discussion\u003c/a\u003e, which means you can attach your notes and decisions that led to a piece of a work directly in an Issue. \n\nTo do this, go to the right sidebar and click \u003cb\u003eCreate issue from discussion\u003c/b\u003e and then build out your issue and assign it to someone (or yourself). \n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: -3px;\"\u003eHow to convert an issue into a discussion\u003c/h2\u003e\n\nLet’s be honest: Sometimes people use issues as a default bucket for anything that is a conversation—or doesn’t have an executable task involved. Other times, people will create an issue and then realize they need a team decision before they can start moving forward. \n\nIn this case, you can convert an issue into a discussion by going to the bottom right corner of the issue and selecting “Convert to discussion.” \n\nDoing this will close and lock the issue while preserving the title, description, and author for the new discussion. \n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: -3px;\"\u003eTake this with you\u003c/h2\u003e \n\nWhether you’re planning for a feature roadmap, asking questions about something you’re working on, or engaging with

FSIs’ ability to\nprevent sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands is a cornerstone of\nthis trust. Globally, governments have responded with a variety of regulatory\nframeworks obligating FSIs to protect customer data with severe sanctions\nimposed on firms that fail to do so. Failure to properly safeguard data can have\nprofound and lasting impact on a company’s reputation and their business.\n\nTo make matters more complex, software has become a central component of FSIs’\nbusiness and will continue to increase in importance. However, strict regulatory\nand compliance requirements govern the way FSIs build their software, from the\nprocesses they follow to tools they use. These requirements are often\nprohibitive enough to compromise performance and stifle innovation.\n\nThe good news is secure development doesn’t have to be a barrier to\ncollaboration or innovation. Financial institutions are uniquely positioned to\ncreate impactful, forward-thinking user experiences, and many of them are doing\njust that. Thousands of organizations are using GitHub to free their workflows\nfrom insular development and build secure processes that give engineering teams\nthe flexibility to do their best work.\n\nWith consumer expectations higher than ever and increased pressure to lower\ncosts, efficient, collaborative, and secure workflows can help teams shift focus\nto where it matters most: Building the best, most innovative software for their\ncustomers.\n\nIn this article, we’ll outline the unique regulatory and technical challenges\nthat FSIs face, how to address them, and how GitHub can help.\n\n## Safeguarding customer data\n\nFSIs handle some of the most sensitive data in the world. They’re engaged in a\nconstant arms race with those trying to obtain this data for criminal\npurposes—from individual hackers to state actors deploying considerable skill\nand resources in their efforts to undermine security. Fortunately, there are\nbest practices and tools that can help companies secure their development\nprocesses and keep sensitive data safe.\n\nThere is no single solution or approach that can guarantee security. Instead,\neffective security relies on a layered approach, enforcing checks and safeguards\nat multiple points across data paths and workflows. This layered approach\nincludes a combination of tools, practices, and culture.\n\n### Build a culture of security\n\nA corporate culture that places security at the center of everything is key to\nenforcing security policies at scale. Creating a security culture means building\nprocesses that make everyone’s job. Examples include regular training on secure\npractices, highlighting the danger of social paths to infiltration like phishing\nattacks, as well as technical means.\n\n#### Specific best practices include:\n\n- Enforcement of password policies, including complex passwords, regular password changes, and the use of password managers and generators to enhance password security\n- Use of two factor authentication\n- Education and training regarding the dangers of public networks, as well as the physical protection of devices like laptops, tablets, and cell phones\n- Use of VPNs to secure access to internal corporate networks\n\n### Always encrypt data\n\nOne of the best ways to avoid unauthorized access to data is encryption. Even if\na bad actor obtains access to data transmission, strong encryption can render\nthat success of little or no value. Again, employing a layered approach is most\neffective when implementing an encryption strategy. This means:\n\n- Encrypting data in transit when it’s being transmitted between a permanent store and an end user\n- Encrypting data ‘at rest’ in the databases where it’s stored\n\n#### Encryption in transit\n\nAs a standard practice, any web-based effort should employ end-to-end encryption\nusing modern encryption protocols such as TLS. TLS helps secure communication\nusing strong, certificate-based encryption that can be essentially unbreakable\nin any practical sense. TLS also verifies each party in a network transaction,\npreventing ‘man-in-the-middle’ attacks, where a bad actor poses as a trusted\npartner in a transaction. Services like LetsEncrypt have greatly reduced the\ncost and complexity of implementing effective TLS and obtaining the required\ncertificates.\n\n#### Encryption at rest\n\nSome applications provide encryption services at the software layer. This sort\nof encryption is better than none but can bring significant costs in terms of\ncomplexity and reduced performance. Encryption solutions that run as close to\nthe storage hardware as possible, such as filesystem encryption or hardware\nappliance level encryption can provide a transparent layer of encryption for all\napplications.\n\n#### Encryption with GitHub\n\nAll communication to and from our self-hosted solution GitHub Enterprise Server\nis protected by TLS with the option to use LetsEncrypt for inexpensive and\nsimple certificate maintenance. GitHub also secures communication between Git\nclients used by developers and the server using SSH. Both are strong\ncryptographic protocols that present robust barriers to unauthorized\ninterception or leakage of sensitive data.\n\n### Adopt strong identity management practices\n\nThe more passwords users have to remember, the more likely they are to default\nto insecure practices like writing passwords down or reusing easy-to-remember\n(and thus easy to crack) passwords. Using a centralized identity management\nsystem like LDAP, coupled with a single sign-on (SSO) solution can greatly\nreduce the number of passwords users have to manage, making it easier for them\nto follow sound password management practices.\n\n#### Using GitHub with identity management systems\n\nGitHub Enterprise supports authentication and authorization using a variety of\nidentity management solutions like Active Directory and LDAP. GitHub also\nsupports SAML, which allows enterprises to provide a single sign-on experience\nfor users.\n\n### Prevent database attacks\n\nData entering an organization can be a dangerous vector that bad actors use to\nattempt to gain access to your systems. Many of these strategies rely on passing\ndangerous payloads to poorly designed systems, exploiting flaws to gain control.\nSQL Injection is a classic example, occuring when a bad actor intentionally\nappends SQL code to seemingly harmless data like a customer name in a web\napplication. Flaws in the underlying software can result in arbitrary execution\nof this code, resulting in data being unintentionally returned to the user.\nThese attacks are particularly dangerous because they may not cause an error or\nother event that might attract the attention of IT administrators overseeing\nsecurity.\n\nAgain, a layered approach is most effective in ensuring that only valid data\nenters your environment. This begins with the code in the user interface and\nextends throughout the datapath through middleware to underlying data stores.\nBuilding validation into the code at each step can dramatically reduce your\nvulnerability to these sorts of attacks. A combination of frequent manual and\nautomated reviews and tests are critical to supporting this effort.\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eThree ways you can prevent common vulnerabilities:\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003col\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eOnly accept validated data into production systems\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMonitor systems for errors and edge cases\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRestrict access to data systems of records as much as possible by adopting an identity management system\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003c/aside\u003e\n\n### Segregate sensitive data\n\nThe fewer places sensitive data exists, the fewer opportunities (or less\n“surface area”) attackers have available to exploit. Reducing surface area means\nimplementing practices like storing passwords in a password manager rather than\nentrusting them to individuals and never committing passwords, access/ API\ntokens, encryption keys, and other sensitive data to publicly accessible\nrepositories.\n\nSensitive data should never be used or stored in non-production systems. Of\ncourse, teams might require large amounts of data that reliably mimic the real\nthing for testing, tempting some engineers to ‘refresh’ development and testing\nenvironments with production data. Instead of using production data, consider\nusing a tool that allows you to configure and then generate large sets of dummy\ndata. These allow reliable, realistic testing without risking sensitive\ninformation.\n\n#### Preventing sensitive data from reaching repositories with pre-receive hooks\n\nIn addition to storing sensitive data separately, you can prevent the\ninadvertent (or deliberate) committing of protected data to repositories with\npre-receive hooks —simple scripts that run in an isolated environment on the\nGitHub appliance. These scripts are triggered before code is pushed to GitHub to\nexamine commits, identify sensitive information, and prevent it from being added\nto your repositories.\n\nAfter examining code, pre-receive hooks return only one of two possible values:\nsuccess, or failure. If it fails, developers will see a message informing them\nthat their commit failed, along with any other useful information your team\nchooses to include. The code is committed to the repository only if the\npre-receive hooks succeeds. The result? No unwanted code makes it to your\nrepositories, protecting your company from violations, liability threats, and\nregulatory penalties.\n\n### Enforce protections on source code\n\nEffective security requires controlling access to sensitive information and the\nsource code for the software that manages it. Granular controls mean you can\neffectively protect this information without creating a security-bound\nenvironment that denies access too comprehensively. GitHub can support your\naccess policies with **protected branches**. Protected branches help maintain\nthe integrity of your code by limiting several features of Git on any branch an\nadministrator chooses to protect. For example, administrators can restrict who\ncan post to a branch to specific users and teams. They can also disable force\npushes that might change or delete code on certain branches.\n\n#### Additional safeguards include:\n\n- Preventing deletion of a branch\n- Preventing code which fails automated testing and Continuous Integration (CI) checks from being merged\n- Requiring manual, auditable reviews from one or more people\n- Specifying ‘code owners’ for any part of a codebase and requiring their review\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eSteps you can take to protect your customer’s most important information:\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eUse secure connections everywhere (no excuses!) and only transfer data using protocols like SSH and SFTP\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eNever commit passwords, access/API tokens, encryption keys, and more to publicly accessible repositories\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eUse protected branches and pre-receive hooks to account for human error and protect sensitive data from making it to production\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eUse an identity solution to restrict access and make sure only the right people have access to sensitive data\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003c/aside\u003e\n\n## Securing the entire development process\n\nYour software codebase and the development processes that shape the way your\nteam builds are at the center of your layered security strategy. As developers\nwork together and contribute changes, it’s important to put certain safeguards\nin place through a combination of best practices and GitHub features that make\nsure the code that reaches production is secure.\n\n### Include legacy core systems\n\nTools like mainframes remain central to FSI operations more than 50 years after\ntheir initial introduction. These systems provide unparalleled capabilities but\ncan also pose unique challenges to secure. FSI teams should periodically\nevaluate all legacy systems and balance the cost of updating them against the\npotential risks they pose in terms of causing a security breach. Replacing a\nlegacy system may not seem cost-effective until the threat of fines in the\nbillions of dollars or a devastating security breach destroying public goodwill\nare included in the equation.\n\n#### Selecting a mainframe system\n\nGitHub’s partner ecosystem includes many vendors producing, selling, and\nmaintaining mainframe systems. For example, IBM recently announced extensions\nfor Git, the technology underpinning GitHub, that allow modern DevSecOps\npractices to be applied to mainframe development workflows.\n\n### Automate processes to prevent bugs and errors\n\nManual oversight is a critical component of an effective, layered security\nstrategy. However, overreliance on people can be dangerous. People get tired,\nbecome distracted, or simply make mistakes. Put people to work where their\nskills are most important, and delegate repetitive, tedious, yet still critical\ntasks to machines. Your team can leverage fully automated **Continuous\nIntegration and Delivery (CI/CD)** in your GitHub workflows.\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eOrganizations that implemented automated dependency management, for example, had \u003cem\u003e60 percent fewer\u003c/em\u003e security vulnerabilities in their delivered software than those which did not.\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003c/aside\u003e\n\nCI/CD tools test and evaluate your code every single time a commit is pushed to\na repository. With CI/ CD in place, GitHub can test new code with existing\nproduction code to ensure the proposed changes work as intended and do not\nintroduce security flaws into existing systems. These tests can also extend to\nexamining all the code that your code depends on (its dependencies).\n\nImplementing automation isn’t difficult—and it can yield immediate and\nmeasurable results. In a 2017 study, the IEEE found that organizations that\nimplemented automated dependency management, for example, had 60 percent fewer\nsecurity vulnerabilities in their delivered software than those which did not\n\n#### Integrating CI/CD with GitHub\n\nIntegrating CI/CD is easy with GitHub, and it won’t affect developers’ existing\nworkflows unless an automated test result requires them to take action. The less\nintrusive automation is for developers, the more likely it is to be widely\nadopted and its benefits felt across an organization.\n\nGitHub integrates with a variety of CI tools like Jenkins, Travis, and CircleCI.\nThese automatically fetch code from a GitHub repository every time code is\npushed, run tests, and return the results to GitHub with either a pass/fail\nstatus.\n\nThey also return notifications on the status of each test, so developers can see\nwhere their code is failing. You and your team can decide whether or not you’d\nlike the results of CI tests to prevent code from getting merged into the code\nbase or simply alert developers without taking action. If CI statuses are\nrequired, the pull request can only be merged when all required CI jobs\ncomplete. If you choose to prevent merging, the pull request can’t be merged\nuntil the required tests return successfully.\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eIntegrating security tools and workflows\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eHundreds of tools integrate with GitHub — and many of them can help you keep your code and customer data safe\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCI:\u003c/strong\u003e CI tools like Travis CI, CircleCI, and AppVeyor automatically build and test code as you push it to GitHub, preventing bugs from being deployed to production\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eError reporting:\u003c/strong\u003e Tools like Snyk, Sentry, and Dependabot help your team find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCode quality:\u003c/strong\u003e Code Climate and Codeacy automate reviews with security and quality checks to prevent human error and streamline your team’s code review processes\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003c/ul\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReady to see what kinds of tools are available to your team?

The more eyes on a given codebase, the more\nlikely errors or vulnerabilities are likely to be detected. Reviews also serve a\nvaluable function beyond security, helping ensure that institutional knowledge\nis shared, and providing learning and mentoring opportunities for developers of\nall skill levels. The result of regular, organization-sanctioned reviews is a\ncodebase that is not only more secure but also healthier and more consistent.\n\nGitHub provides a flexible framework for mandating code reviews. You can:\n- Require reviews from one or more users with write access to the repository containing the changes\n- Require additional review and approval by one or more **code owners**. Code owners can be any combination of individual users or teams assigned specific responsibility for a section of a codebase, a particular technology, or any combination of the two\n- Empower reviewers to provide detailed, line-by-line feedback on any proposed changes\n- Ensure that all reviews are logged and auditable in the future\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eThree steps to take to help your team prevent bugs and errors:\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003col\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eBuild in automated security scanning to reduce human error, test for weaknesses that may not be introduced otherwise, and save developers time\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIntegrate automation directly into your team’s GitHub workflow with status checks\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEnsure all of your team members feel an equal and shared responsibility for building and maintaining secure software\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003c/aside\u003e\n\n### Audit and compliance-proof your workflow\n\nThe regulatory standards under which FSIs work today require a robust logging\nand auditing capability. Not only do teams need to create an effective security\nstrategy. They also have to prove they’ve done so to regulators. GitHub provides\nflexible and powerful logging, auditing, and reporting frameworks to help ensure\ncompliance and the ability to prove it.\n\n#### Audit logging\n\nGitHub Enterprise maintains comprehensive logs of user and system activity.\nAudited activity includes every `git push` operation, including who initiated\nthe push, their IP address, and repositories affected by the operation. Logs can\nbe forwarded to an external system (like Logstash or Splunk) for analysis,\nreporting and storage, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.\n\n#### Archiving respositories\n\nRepositories that are no longer maintained can be archived a nd set to\n‘read-only’ mode. This ensures that no new code can be committed to the\nrepository while still allowing users to view its content.\n\n#### Blocking force pushes\n\nGit allows developers to rewrite commit history by ‘force pushing’ changes.\nWhile sometimes necessary in order to fix mistakes, this capability presents a\nchallenge when regulations require data to be immutable. GitHub Enterprise\nallows administrators to block force pushes for individual repositories or for\nthe entire appliance, ensuring commit history can never be rewritten.\n\n#### Preventing users from deleting repositories\n\nThe ability to delete repositories can be restricted to administrators.\n\n### Move security all the way left\n\nIn the past, security was all too often an afterthought. In fact, the protocols\nwhich run the internet were not designed with security in mind at all. Bolted-on\naftermarket security is better than nothing, but far from sufficient in today’s\nfrenzied threat environment. To be effective, security must be built into every\nsoftware project from its very inception. Moving security left means shifting\nsecurity from the right-hand side of your timeline, near delivery, all the way\nto the left, at the beginning. This ensures that security remains front and\ncenter throughout the entire product lifecycle.\n\nInvolving security teams early can also influence design, development, and\nmaintenance decisions before they become too difficult and expensive to change.\nThis advice is simple enough, but process means very little if leadership and\nengineering teams aren’t on board. Secure development requires everyone to adopt\nan effective security culture.\n\n#### Creating a security culture\n\nDevSecOps is a way of thinking about security throughout the development cycle\nand distributing it across teams and roles. It no longer makes sense for\nsecurity teams to join the process after an application is built, only to\ndiscover exploitable flaws. With security experts closely aligned from the\nstart, teams can create collaborative processes that proactively support\nsecurity as they build.\n\nDevSecOps principles may require organizations to shift their team culture in\naddition to their infrastructure, but more reliable software and fewer surprises\nare worthwhile results. Some companies even invite security specialists into\nscrum teams to make sure it’s a priority throughout the process.\n\n## Customer story: Societe Generale\n\nSociete Generale is a French multinational banking and financial services\ncompany, employing 146,000 people in 66 countries worldwide. Global Banking \u0026\nInvestor Solutions (GBIS) is one of the bank's three core businesses, bringing\ntogether Corporate and Investment Banking, Asset Management, Private Banking and\nSecurities Services.\n\n\u003e Our digital transformation is a strategic priority for the bank [...] We firmly believe that adopting the same tools and practices as the world's top software companies is the key to our success!\n\n\u003csmall\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmir Jaballah\u003c/strong\u003e, Global Head of Continuous Delivery Platform, Societe Generale\u003c/small\u003e\n\nLed by Chief Information Officer Carlos Goncalves, GBIS embarked on a major\noverhaul of its information systems aimed primarily at embracing continuous\ndelivery. In 2014, the Information Systems department equipped its continuous\ndelivery platform with GitHub, which has since been adopted by more than 3,000\nemployees worldwide.\n\n\u003e There has been an 80 percent reduction in administration costs over Societe Generale's previous solution. [GitHub] has freed up more time to provide change management support for the teams involved.\n\n\u003csmall\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmir Jaballah\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/small\u003e\n\nTo meet its strategic objective of transforming 50 percent of GBIS software\napplications by the end of 2016, the GBIS IT department required a fast,\nhigh performance version control platform that fit seamlessly with the\ndepartment's integration and test systems. To offer its developers the a high\nstandard for functionality and performance levels, the bank shifted away from\ncentralized version control to GitHub Enterprise Server — the best solution to\nmeet these needs.\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eFive key features convinced Societe Generale upfront that GitHub offered the best solution:\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepositories:\u003c/strong\u003e Developers can create their own repositories and work in teams, significantly reducing project delivery time\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCode review:\u003c/strong\u003e Developers can review and propose changes to code developed by their co-workers, ensuring it’s free of errors\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c/strong\u003e Developers can also search and reuse code that already exists across the organization instead of reinventing field-tested solutions developed for other project\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocumentation versioning:\u003c/strong\u003e Programmers can create and host documentation as close as possible to the applications\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecurity:\u003c/strong\u003e the platform is hosted on internal servers.

Implementing effective security might seem overwhelming, but it\ndoesn’t have to be. One of the advantages of a layered defense is to break up\nthe task of implementing security into multiple, less daunting sub-projects. The\nmost important thing to do is to start, or if you’ve started, continue to test,\nexamine, question, and improve. Attackers never rest, and neither can you.\n\nPart of the challenge in implementing effective security lies in balancing it\nwith the freedom that software developers need to innovate, thrive, and be\nproductive. Too little security is simply ineffective.\n\nToo much, on the other hand, can stifle creativity or encourage people to avoid\nyour security efforts altogether. Tools like GitHub provide you with the\ncontrols you need to help find that balance for your organization.\n\nUltimately our goal is to help you transform your perception of security beyond\na threat and into an opportunity to build customer satisfaction, attract new\ncustomers, and further differentiate your business. Good security pays off in\ncustomer trust—and partners like GitHub can help you on your way to an effective\nsecurity strategy.\n\n---\n\n\u003caside\u003e\n \u003ch4\u003eKey Takeaways:\u003c/h4\u003e\n \u003col\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eYour data are under constant attack.

culture","description":"Collaboration, transparency, and code reuse aren’t just found in open source communities.","body":"\nSuccessful software developers build together the same way at work—an approach known as “innersource.” These innersource best practices will help your team create a developer culture that is effective and collaborative.\n\n## Be transparent\n\nTransparency is the baseline for any innersource culture, just as it is for the wider open source community.\n\n- Share projects across your organization as broadly as possible. Exceptions can be made for projects that require a higher level of security on a case-by-case basis.\n- Ensure that your team has the tools and processes to communicate openly and build consistently—and that those tools and processes are being used. If they’re not, find out why and make adjustments until you establish a solid routine.\n- Confirm that your engineering initiatives are well-resourced and supported by leadership.\n- Give developers enough autonomy to contribute to projects outside their immediate teams.\n\n## Distribute workloads\n\nTo effectively adopt innersource practices, contributors need to be able to work easily across teams and organizational silos.\n\n- Make approvals and reviews more effective by distributing control across a smaller group of participants. A small, cross-functional team of decision-makers can also help teams stick to quality standards and get support from leadership.\n- Spread heavy workloads across geographically distributed developers or even with non-developer team members.\n- Keep in mind that non-developers are a valuable asset to your innersource community.\n - **Project managers** can quickly assess the state of the project, and changes made to project timelines can be tied directly to the code in question.\n - **Technical writers** should be encouraged to work alongside project engineers, precisely documenting code features where they originate.\n - **Security engineers** can review code for compliance and security-related weaknesses, preventing issues earlier in the workflow.\n\n## Encourage communication and ongoing review\n\nOpenly sharing work and feedback brings more ideas into your innersource community—and more code.\n\n- Make ample use of your version control system’s commenting, tagging, and review features.\n- Use forks and branches so developers can try different changes without affecting original projects. These tools also make it easy to start with existing solutions, instead of writing new code each time.\n- Encourage developers to share their latest work early on and often by tagging others in their code commits.\n- If someone finds a bug, they should create an issue describing the problem. Tag that same contributor when you update the code so they know the bug has been fixed.\n- Make each step in the software development lifecycle (such as testing and deployment) visible to everyone.\n\n## Don’t forget the documentation\n\nAs innersource projects become more complex, in-code documentation keeps work moving and consistent.\n\n- Document by default, not as an afterthought. Effective documentation makes your decision process clear to outside contributors and avoids wasted resources and duplication.\n- Add README and CONTRIBUTING guides to all repositories to help everyone understand basic usage and project best practices.\n- Use documentation to help onboard and acclimate new contributors and other participants into your process.\n- Update in-code documentation regularly to keep user guides and manuals in sync with the latest version of the code.\n","resource":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"4kUV1SzMjJPQxTEw3PKQpJ","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-11-19T17:32:37.808Z","updatedAt":"2021-11-19T17:32:37.808Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":1,"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"article"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"attachment":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"6o9TRXtsH5IYh6huBiAebK","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2021-11-19T17:32:37.295Z","updatedAt":"2022-03-12T22:14:33.058Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":8,"revision":3,"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"title":"/downloads/78_GitHub_Best.practices_8.5x11_D1.1.pdf","description":"78_GitHub_Best.practices_8.5x11_D1.1","file":{"url":"//assets.ctfassets.net/wfutmusr1t3h/6o9TRXtsH5IYh6huBiAebK/9df2712da36aa692feab2535e1162160/_downloads_78_GitHub_Best.practices_8.5x11_D1.1.pdf","details":{"size":41538},"fileName":"/downloads/78_GitHub_Best.practices_8.5x11_D1.1.pdf","contentType":"application/pdf"}}}}},"gated":false,"sfCampaignID":"7015c000001SNN7AAO","campaign":"Resources_Contact_Us","contentForm":{"metadata":{"tags":[],"concepts":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"wfutmusr1t3h"}},"id":"3qHQ6eSp20iGQrFIfaBJnn","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-09-29T19:33:25.277Z","updatedAt":"2024-11-21T18:47:33.914Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"publishedVersion":240,"revision":109,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"form"}},"locale":"en-US"},"fields":{"name":"Form_Ungated_Contact","title":"Wondering
