Keeping secrets secure
Let GitHub do the hard work of ensuring that tokens, private keys, and other code secrets are not exposed in your repository.
Secret scanning is available for all public repositories, and for private repositories owned by organizations where GitHub Advanced Security is enabled. For more information, see "About GitHub Advanced Security."
