Working with secret scanning and push protection
Secret scanning scans for and detects secrets that have been checked into a repository. Push protection proactively secures you against leaking secrets by blocking pushes containing secrets.
Who can use this feature?
Secret scanning is available for organization-owned repositories, and in beta for user-owned repositories in GitHub Enterprise Server if your enterprise has a license for GitHub Advanced Security. For more information, see "About secret scanning alerts" and "About GitHub Advanced Security."
