-## Todo
+## Cover your tracks
 
-Feel free to contribute!
+Understanding what information about you is publicly visible is the first step to managing your online presence. gh-recon can help you identify your own publicly available data on GitHub. Here’s how you can take steps to protect your privacy and security:
 
-**Todo:**
+- **Review your public profile**: Regularly check your GitHub profile and repositories to ensure that you are not unintentionally exposing sensitive information.
+- **Manage email exposure**: Use GitHub's settings to control which email addresses are visible on your profile and in commit history. You can also use a no-reply email address for commits. Delete/modify any sensitive information in your commit history.
+- **Be Mindful of Repository Content**: Avoid including sensitive information in your repositories, such as API keys, passwords, emails or personal data. Use `.gitignore` to exclude files that contain sensitive information.
 
-- Find and parse licenses
+You can also use a tool like [TruffleHog](github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog) to scan your repositories specifically for exposed secrets and tokens.
+
+**Useful links:**
+
+- [Blocking command line pushes that expose your personal email address](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/blocking-command-line-pushes-that-expose-your-personal-email-address)
+- [No-reply email address](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address)
