Why is Git Security important?

Git repositories often contain sensitive information. Following best practices helps avoid accidental leaks of credentials or sensitive data.

Best Practices:

• Use .gitignore: Avoid tracking unnecessary or sensitive files.
• Avoid committing secrets: Don't commit credentials or API keys.

Execution:

• Task 12: Create a .gitignore file.
  • Add entries for files/folders you don't want to track (e.g., .env, node_modules).
