Often, most developers do not think about the security of their commits. Whether or not commits were actually from them often comes as an afterthought - if not, never. That was certainly the case for me. It was not until a good friend of mine shared this article with me that I started to pay more attention to the tools that I have. It cited a scenario that - I believe - many developers would not have thought of and goes into ways to show how what we believe as “safe” may not always be the case.
This article is a great look into the security of a widely used developer tool - Git - and the precautions we can take to defend ourselves against potentially bad situations.
