How to auto-sync update from one Github repository

Hi, it’s been a very long time for me to update new tech medium article since the last article published. Recently, I’m trying to explore a little a bit about Github workflow. According to Github, workflow is a configurable automated process made up of one or more jobs. So basically, by using workflow, it help us a lot in automating process upon updates (pull-request, push, etc) in our Github repository. Github Workflow often used in continuous integration (CI) process by running unit test and build it. I find it very interesting because it does very useful in my own use case. While exploring more about it, I thought it will be useful to share about how to use it as well.

Thus, I will share about my use case on why I have to use Github workflows to help my life easier. Currently, I have one private repository and one public repository for my codes at Github. So basically, my private repository have a lots of folder in it and I would like to make only one of its most updated folder as public repository. That’s why I have to copy the entire folder and make it a new public repository. The problem is I tends to update most codes in the private repository leaving the public repository to be outdated. It been a burden for me to have to copy all of the codes in the folder from private to public repository manually every time. Facing this problem, I have to think about solutions on **how to automate updates every commits in my private repository to the other public repository. **Thankfully, Github Workflow does sound interesting for me to implement it in my project.

First thing first, in order to make a Github workflow in your repository, you have to click on actions tab on your repository to initiate the first workflows in YML file. Once you arrive at actions tab, you have to click to “set up a workflow yourself”.

How to Compare Multiple GitHub Projects with Our GitHub Stats tool

If you have project code hosted on GitHub, chances are you might be interested in checking some numbers and stats such as stars, commits and pull requests.

You might also want to compare some similar projects in terms of the above mentioned stats, for whatever reasons that interest you.

We have the right tool for you: the simple and easy-to-use little tool called GitHub Stats.

Let’s dive right in to what we can get out of it.

Getting started

This interactive tool is really easy to use. Follow the three steps below and you’ll get what you want in real-time:

1. Head to the GitHub repo of the tool

2. Enter as many projects as you need to check on

3. Hit the Update button beside each metric

In this article we are going to compare three most popular machine learning projects for you.

Stay Safe on GitHub: Security Practices to Follow

gthen Access Controls

Implementing proper access control is one of the best practices for enhancing security, not only on GitHub but in every other environment where code security is imperative.

GitHub offers several options that users can employ to reduce the risk of improper exposure. But to start with, it is important to employ the least privilege model where users are only granted necessary permissions.

Here are some basic access control guidelines that you should follow:

• Restrict the creation of repositories to prevent users from exposing organization information in public repositories.
• Enable branch protection and status checks to ensure users can merge commits or manipulate branches safely.
• Allow or disallow forking private repositories to ensure users do not expose or share organizational code with unauthorized parties.
• Revoke access for all inactive users who are no longer part of the contributors.
• Review access rights to your GitHub projects periodically.
• Ensure users do not share GitHub accounts or passwords.
• Ensure every contributor uses two-factor authentication on their account.
• Rotate personal access tokens and SSH keys

Never Store Credentials in Your GitHub Files

Leaking secrets to your GitHub repositories, either through code, configuration files, or commit messages, provides a gateway for attacks.

Stay Safe on GitHub: Security Practices to Follow

GitHub is undoubtedly the largest and most popular social development platform in the world. According to its 2019 State of the Octoverse Report, GitHub is home to over 40 million, and the community keeps expanding every day.

As developers in this deeply interconnected community use open source code to build software, Github security should be a top priority. This is because extensive code re-use increases the risk of distributing vulnerabilities from one dependency or repository to another. As such, every contributor should focus on creating a secure development environment.

Here are eight security practices that GitHub users can follow to stay safe and protect their code:
