⬆️ Product Updates

• Repository security advisories REST API - You can now programmatically view and act on repository advisories via a new REST API. New endpoints to create, view, list, and update advisories are available to all. Additionally, new webhooks have been introduced that will alert maintainers when advisories are published or when a private vulnerability report is submitted. Learn more here: Repository security advisories REST API.

🗞️ What’s New?

• Docs Hacktoberfest Win 🎃 - Our Docs team ran a Hacktoberfest sprint during the month of October that encouraged GitHub users to contribute to GitHub’s Docs. A big win from that is the new Scripting with the REST API and Ruby guide written by @Manas-Kenge. Check it out!
• How to gain insight into your project contributors - We're excited to share with you the contributors Action! At GitHub, we maintain several open source repositories and have developed this Action to empower maintainers to measure how many new and returning contributors and contributions have occurred over any given time period.
• Company Update: Diversity, inclusion, and belonging at GitHub in 2023 - We expanded the diversity of our employee base, launched several new employee engagement programs, made investments to improve accessibility, and more. Read more about it on The GitHub Blog.
