Secret scanning users can now see the validity of detected GitHub tokens

Secret scanning users can now view the validity of detected GitHub tokens by clicking into the related alert's UI page. The alert page will tell you whether the GitHub token is still active and able to be used.

Secret scanning alerts are available for free on public repositories and as part of GitHub Advanced Security on private repositories.

The crates.io registry is now a GitHub secret scanning integrator

GitHub, the Rust Foundation, and the Rust Project are collaborating to help protect you from leaked crates.io keys.

From today, GitHub will scan every commit to a public repository for exposed crates.io keys. We will forward any tokens we find to crates.io, who will automatically disable the tokens and notify their owners. The end-to-end process takes only a few seconds.

Crates.io is the latest GitHub secret scanning integrator; since 2018, GitHub has partnered with over 100 token issuers to help keep our mutual customers safe. We continue to welcome new partners for public repository secret scanning. In addition, GitHub Advanced Security customers can scan their private repositories for leaked secrets.

We’d like to thank the crates.io team, the staff at the Rust Foundation, and the work from AWS’ Dan Gardner on this GitHub pull request that made our collaboration with Rust possible.

GitHub Issues – January 19th update

We're back again with the ability to make a copy of your project and a new automation for Enterprise accounts.

🖨️ Get started faster by copying your project’s views, custom fields and draft issues

Whether you’ve spotted a project that seems to have everything you want for your next endeavor or your team has an optimized project you want to use on repeat, ‘Make a copy’ is here to help. Quickly copy the views, custom fields and draft issues of any existing project over to a new one. We’d love your feedback; drop us a line in our discussion.

🤖 Automatically add project items (Enterprise accounts only)

Let the robots take care of adding your relevant issues and PRs to your project! Configure the auto-add workflow to automatically add new items as they are created or updated in a repository and filter to just the items you want with is, label, assignee, and reason support.

At this time, auto-add will not bulk-add items that match the filter when the workflow is enabled and is only available for Enterprise accounts. We'd love to hear your feedback as you try it out!

✨ Bug fixes and improvement
