This pull request makes several improvements to the documentation on securing GitHub Actions workflows. The most significant updates include adding new recommendations for segregating runners, enhancing repository ruleset guidance, and updating author attribution.

Enhancements to security recommendations:

  • Added a new recommendation to segregate runners by using organizational runner groups and labels to separate high-privilege from low-privilege runners, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive resources. [1] [2]
  • Expanded repository ruleset guidance by recommending the use of "Require workflows to pass before merging" to enforce organizational or enterprise-level workflow requirements prior to merging.

Documentation and metadata updates:

  • Updated the authors list in the document metadata to include Thomas Sjögren (konstruktoid).
