About GitHub Advanced Security

GitHub has many features that help you improve and maintain the quality of your code. Some of these are included in all plans, such as dependency graph and Dependabot alerts. Other security features require a GitHub Advanced Security license to run on repositories apart from public repositories on GitHub.com.

To purchase a GitHub Advanced Security license, you must be using GitHub Enterprise. For information about upgrading to GitHub Enterprise with GitHub Advanced Security, see "GitHub's products" and "About billing for GitHub Advanced Security."

A GitHub Advanced Security license provides the following additional features:

  • Code scanning - Search for potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors in your code. For more information, see "About code scanning."

About starter workflows for Advanced Security

Remarque : Les workflows de démarrage pour Advanced Security ont été regroupés dans une catégorie « Sécurité » sous l’onglet Actions d’un dépôt. Cette nouvelle configuration est actuellement en version bêta et susceptible d’être modifiée.

GitHub fournit des workflows de démarrage pour les fonctionnalités de sécurité comme l’code scanning. Vous pouvez utiliser ces workflows suggérés pour construire vos workflows d’code scanning au lieu de commencer à partir de zéro.

For more information on starter workflows, see "Setting up code scanning using starter workflows" and "Using starter workflows."
