Welcome to the Exclude files from secret scanning exercise!

This exercise checks your knowledge on excluding files from being scanned by secret scanning. It is automatically graded via a workflow once you have completed the instructions.

About this exercise

A grading script exists under .github/workflows/grading.yml. You do not need to use this workflow for any purpose and altering its contents will affect the repository's ability to assess your exercise and give feedback.

ℹ️ About the use of GitHub Actions in this exercise

This exercise utilizes GitHub Actions, which is free for public repositories and self-hosted runners, but may incur charges on private repositories. See About billing for GitHub Actions to learn more. The use of GitHub Actions also means that it may take the grading workflow a few seconds and sometimes minutes to run.

Please complete the instructions below:

  1. Create your own copy of this repository by using the Use this template button.

  2. Create the necessary file in the repository to exclude the following files from being scanned:

    • Any file in a docs directory anywhere in the repository.

Troubleshooting

If you are stuck with a step in the exercise or the grading workflow does not automatically run after you complete the instructions, run the troubleshooter: in the Actions tab select the Grading workflow, click Run workflow, select the appropriate branch, and click the Run workflow button.
