Definition

A “Repo” (short for repository) is a storage location for software packages, code, and other development artifacts. It is commonly used in version control systems like Git to manage changes to source code over time. Repos facilitate collaboration among developers by allowing them to track revisions, merge changes, and maintain a history of the project’s evolution.

Secure Settings Example

# Example of a secure Git repository configuration
hooks:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Prevent force pushes to the main branch
    protected_branch='main'
    if [ "$GIT_BRANCH" = "$protected_branch" ]; then
      echo "Force pushes to the main branch are not allowed."
      exit 1
    fi

    require_pull_request_reviews: true
    dismiss_stale_reviews: true
    require_code_owner_reviews: true
    enforce_admins: true
