@JacksonTian Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Docs and for submitting a PR! ✨

We have built in security checks for any changes made to potentially sensitive files, like the security hardening files you are attempting to change in this PR. They will require an extra review before being considered for acceptance.

For future reference, in cases like this where you are adding a new article or guide, we encourage you to open an issue first. That way, we can review the need for your proposed addition before you submit your PR. That will greatly improve the review experience for both sides of the PR. 👍

I'll run this by our team and get it up for review 👀

Hello, any feedbacks?

Hey @JacksonTian, thank you so much for writing this article and opening an PR to add it to our docs! ✨

Do you know if there is any Alibaba doc that can be cross referenced for GitHub OIDC integration? After checking with our engineering team, we are hoping to use this to internally verify an Alibaba set up.

[JacksonTian]

Hello @SiaraMist . The article https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/ram/user-guide/overview-of-oidc-based-sso describes how to use OIDC on Alibaba Cloud.

And we have a GitHub Action https://github.com/aliyun/configure-aliyun-credentials-action to integrate with GitHub OIDC.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hey @JacksonTian, thank you so much for your patience as the team works through our backlog. 💛

I took your PR and the configuration documents you sent back to the team for review. They suggested that we add links to the Alibaba Cloud information from another article instead of adding this new one. I've gone ahead and opened a PR for that, and you can see the Alibaba Cloud mentions here and here.

I'm going to close out this PR in favor of those changes. We really appreciate your thoughtful contribution to the GitHub docs. ✨
