GitHub now automatically blocks leaks of sensitive information such as API keys and access tokens for all publicly available code repositories.

This feature prevents leaks in advance by scanning secrets before "git push" operations are accepted and works with 69 types of tokens.

The list includes API keys, private keys, secret keys, authentication tokens, access tokens, management certificates, credentials, etc.
