Keeping secrets secure with secret scanning

Let GitHub do the hard work of ensuring that tokens, private keys, and other code secrets are not exposed in your repository.

Important

Secret scanning is available for organization-owned repositories in GitHub Enterprise Server if your enterprise has a license for GitHub Advanced Security. For more information, see "About secret scanning" and "About GitHub Advanced Security."
