Module "Manage sensitive data and security policies within GitHub", page "Setting security policies", section "Other default community health files" says:

"GitHub uses and displays these default files for any repository owned by the account that doesn't have its own file ..."

It doesn't say how/where to create default health files for any repository of the organization, which is creating a public repository named ".github" (see Creating a default community health file https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file). I think it is worth mentioning it.

    Hi Carlos Quintero,

    We appreciate your engagement with us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Thank you sincerely for your valuable feedback.

    The section titled "Setting Security Policies" primarily focuses on proactive measures for maintaining the integrity of our GitHub repositories, specifically highlighting the SECURITY.md file as the primary document for communicating security details.

    While the unit does not provide detailed steps for creating default community health files, as suggested we can find comprehensive instructions in the linked resource "Creating a Default Community Health File" (https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file).

    The link to this resource is accessible on the unit 7: Summary page under the Learn More section.

    Learning paths and modules are designed to cater to various proficiency levels (beginner, intermediate, etc.), and the "Learn More" section is particularly useful for those who have mastered the core concepts and wish to explore more advanced aspects of the topic.

    If you encounter any challenges, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you further.
