Description

@pfhayes As a dependency of some other major open source projects please consider some easy security improvements to your project:

  1. Enable Branch Protection: This is critical for preventing unauthorized changes to your code. You can enable it in your repository settings on GitHub. Here's a sample code snippet for a .yml file to enforce branch protection: yaml branches: - name: master protection: required_pull_request_reviews: required_approving_review_count: 1 required_status_checks: strict: true contexts: [ 'ci/test' ]

  2. Implement Code Review: This is crucial for catching potential security vulnerabilities before they're merged into your codebase. You can enforce this by setting up a pull request template in your repository. Here's a sample .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md file: markdown ## Proposed Changes Please describe the changes in this PR. This could be a bug fix, feature, etc. ## Type of Change What type of change does your code introduce to this project? - [ ] Bugfix - [ ] New feature - [ ] Enhancement - [ ] Other ## Reviewer Notes Anything else we should know about this PR?

  3. Pin Dependencies: This helps to prevent potential security vulnerabilities from dependencies. You can do this by specifying exact versions in your package.json file (for JavaScript projects). Here's a sample: json "dependencies": { "express": "4.17.1", "mongoose": "5.12.3" }

Please replace the branch names, context, and dependencies with those relevant to your project.
