GitHub Enhances API with New Push Protection Configuration Endpoints
GitHub has rolled out new REST API endpoints designed to strengthen security through push protection configurations. These endpoints enable users to manage secret scanning patterns at both enterprise and organization levels, offering greater control over sensitive data exposure.
The push protection feature is a critical safeguard against accidental leaks of API keys and passwords in code repositories. By automating configuration management, GitHub addresses the complexity of securing large-scale operations with multiple repositories.
