Achievements celebrate specific events and actions that happen on GitHub. They will appear as small badges listed in the sidebar of your profile and are in Public Beta starting today. Check out the blog post to learn more.
To stop private contributions from counting toward your Achievements or to turn off Achievements entirely, see "Showing your private contributions and Achievements on your profile."
You can now use GitHub Mobile to complete your password reset, if you have two-factor authentication enabled.
After you confirm access to your email address, you'll be asked to authenticate with any registered second factor. GitHub Mobile will be the default if you have it installed.
For more information, please see "Updating your GitHub access credentials".
When you visit the GitHub Advisory Database, you can now search for any historical advisory recognized by the National Vulnerability Database.
Previously, we only displayed advisories from our supported ecosystems. We then expanded to have an Unreviewed category for advisories that do not belong to those ecosystems, and we've been auto-publishing new advisories to this category since.
We've now backfilled our database to include all historical advisories from prior years, so you can find any advsiory you may be searching for regardless of publication date. This brings us to over 160 thousand advisories, and counting! You can browse them by clicking the "All unreviewed" button or by searching "type:unreviewed" in the search bar.
