Enabling scanning for non-provider patterns
Note: The detection of non-provider patterns is currently in beta and subject to change.
You can enable scanning for non-provider patterns. Non-provider patterns correspond to secrets such as private keys and they have a higher ratio of false positives.
For more information about non-provider patterns, see "Supported secret scanning patterns."
