March-ing and merging 🍀 [Repositories Check-in]

[queenofcorgis]

March is a month jampacked with holidays (Pi Day, St. Patricks Day, Equinox, and more) and as luck would have it, so is this month’s check-in. We’ve got great member contributions to highlight, releases, and news from around GitHub. Sit down and help yourself to a slice of the March repos check-in 🥧.

Wall of Fame 🤩 : These folks make our Repositories category so great!

• @sschroeder-ARA: A splendid self-solve, they did some sleuthing and came back with the solution on how to clone a repo from another server (Heroku), linking to the sources they used and included a helpful image. Appreciate you returning to share the answer!
• @dhruvjadvani: Commented a simple and straightforward workaround for a console error during README editing. Thanks for contributing to our community knowledge!
• @aneroid: Another super self-solve! We’re grateful you shared your workaround on what to do when team access level gets stuck on read.

🗳️ Repository Releases: All updates, info, releases, etc. that are Repo-related!

• Explore a repository using Copilot on the web: We’ve made it easier to explore a repository’s file structure when you chat with Copilot on the web. Join our discussion to check out what has changed and leave your thoughts!
• Lock and unlock draft repository security advisories: Repository administrators can now lock draft repository security advisories and private vulnerability reports to prevent collaborators from editing advisory content or metadata. Read the changelog to learn more.

📣 Announcements: The latest updates around the Community and GitHub 🆕

• Category Changes Underway: We’re excited to let you know that, following your helpful feedback in our recent discussion, we’ll be making some changes to our categories today. You might notice a few small changes here and there as we work through the updates, so please bear with us: thank you for your patience! 🙇
• Open Source Assistive Technology Hackathon: Have an open source project you want to nominate or planning to join us in person in San Francisco? Get the details in our discussion.

📚 Rousing Reads and Beyond: GitHub-produced goodies

• Investing in the people shaping open source and securing the future together: See how GitHub is investing in open source security funding maintainers, partnering with Alpha-Omega, and expanding access to help reduce burden and strengthen software supply chains in our blogpost from @KevinCrosby.
