Push protection blocks you from pushing secrets to a repository and generates an alert whenever you bypass the block.
Push protection is now supported for the following REST API endpoints:
* Create a blob
* Create or update file contents
If the content of a PUT request to these endpoints includes a secret, the API will respond with a 409 error and provide a link for bypassing push protection, along with a placeholder_id.
There is also a new API endpoint to bypass push protection programatically, Create a push protection bypass. You or your application can use the placeholder_id from your push protection block in your call to this endpoint.
You need to be the individual or application that initially got blocked to be able to bypass the block successfully.
Secret scanning is now performing a backfill to detect historically existing secrets in GitHub wikis. For repositories with secret scanning enabled, you may notice newly created alerts for these exposed secrets.
Learn how to secure your repositories with secret scanning or sign up for a 60 minute feedback session on secret scanning and be compensated for your time.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
