  • GitHub DevSecOps Platform. We just didn’t notice!

    For years, GitHub has been synonymous with source code management. Developers thought of it as the place to host repositories, collaborate through pull requests, and manage issues.

    Last month I cleared all 5 GitHub Certifications. I’m writing this post for the version of me that started this journey confused about where to begin, and what “studying for GitHub” actually looks like when there’s no textbook to fall back on. If you’re standing where I was, this should save you a lot of…
