About escaneo de secretos
If your project communicates with an external service, you might use a token or private key for authentication. Tokens and private keys are examples of secrets that a service provider can issue. If you check a secret into a repository, anyone who has read access to the repository can use the secret to access the external service with your privileges. We recommend that you store secrets in a dedicated, secure location outside of the repository for your project.
Escaneo de secretos will scan your entire Git history on all branches present in your GitHub repository for secrets.
Service providers can partner with GitHub to provide their secret formats for scanning. Para saber más sobre nuestro programa asociado, consulta el "Programa asociado de Escaneo de secretos" en la documentación de Nube de GitHub Enterprise.
