skills/introduction-to-secret-scanning: Enable secret scanning to identify plain-text credentials and prevent them from being written to your repository

Learn how to configure secret protection to identify secrets and prevent new ones from being committed to your repository.

Plain-text credentials accidentally stored in repositories on GitHub are a common target for attackers. In fact, we find well over a million tokens stored on the GitHub platform each year. Let's learn how to prevent that!

• Who is this for: Developers, DevOps Engineers, security teams.
• What you'll learn: How to identify plain-text credentials in your repository and how to prevent them from being exposed on GitHub in future pushes.
• Prerequisites: Basics of git and GitHub functionality. We recommend you complete Introduction to GitHub.
• How long: This course takes less than 15 minutes to complete.

In this course, you will:

1. Enable secret protection
2. Identify secrets stored in your repository
3. Enable push protection
4. Stop secrets from being written to your repository

Simply copy the exercise to your account, then give your favorite Octocat (Mona) about 20 seconds to prepare the first lesson, then refresh the page.

When copying the exercise, we recommend the following settings:

• For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.

• We recommend creating a public repository, since private repositories will use Actions minutes.

If the exercise isn't ready in 20 seconds, please check the Actions tab.

• Check to see if a job is running. Sometimes it simply takes a bit longer.

• If the page shows a failed job, please submit an issue. Nice, you found a bug! 🐛
