Purpose

It ensures that potential security flaws are detected early. This proactive approach strengthens your security posture and helps maintain high code quality.

Implementation

Github

1. Go to the "Security" tab of your repository.
2. Click on "Set up code scanning".
3. Select "Set up this workflow" under "CodeQL Analysis".
4. Review the YAML file and commit it to your repository.

Code scanning will now run every time code is pushed to the repository, and results will appear in the Security tab.
