Scorecard Technical Writing (OpenSSF)

Scorecard is an automated tool created by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) that helps developers determine the security posture of open-source projects, providing guidance on how to boost it as well. I wrote this Beginner’s Guide to Scorecard Checks because the official README, while comprehensive, was a bit overwhelming for people simply looking to get started with the tool. A software engineer for Scorecard and two other technical writers provided crucial feedback on this guide as well.
