Doppler is a GitHub secret scanning partner

GitHub secret scanning protects users by searching repositories for known types of secrets. By identifying and flagging these secrets, our scans help prevent data leaks and fraud.

We have partnered with Doppler to scan for their tokens and help secure our mutual users on public repositories. Doppler tokens allow users to access and manage their secrets from their existing tooling and infrastructure. GitHub will forward access tokens found in public repositories to Doppler, who will revoke the tokens and email affected customers. You can read more information about Doppler tokens here.

GitHub Advanced Security customers can also scan for Doppler tokens and block them from entering their private and public repositories with push protection.

GitHub Desktop makes force pushing and fetching easy and adds pull request comment notifications

GitHub Desktop 3.2.3 makes force pushing and fetching through the newly added fetch/pull dropdown menu items as well as adding pull request comment notifications. Since 3.2.1, GitHub Desktop has also released more than 30 accessibility improvements.

Force-pushing and Fetching

In GitHub Desktop 3.1.5, we added the ability to force-push and fetch to the Repository menu item when applicable. Now, when those menu items would be available, the pull/push/fetch button becomes a dropdown so users can easily force push or fetch.

Gif that shows a user pressing fetch to put the repository in a diverged state. Then, shows the user opening the new dropdown and force pushing their changes to overwrite the changes in the remote.

Pull Request Comment Notifications

If you have been enjoying our Pull Request notifications on your repositories, you will be happy to hear we have expanded those notifications to include when someone has commented on your pull request as well so that you can keep up to date on the latest conversations happening on your pull request.
