Increased items in GitHub Projects now in public preview

Following our opt-in preview last October, we’re excited to expand item limits for all projects — increasing from 1,200 to 50,000 items per project.

Since the last release, we’ve added support for project insights and mobile, addressed your top bug reports, and delivered key performance improvements.

We’re rolling out increased limits incrementally over the next week. If you see the Increased items preview pill in your project, you’re now in the preview.

Insights for all

With this release, we’re also making project insights fully accessible to all plans—removing paid gating entirely. All plans now have access to both current state and historical charts in public and private repositories, with no feature restrictions. Learn more about insights for projects.

Copilot secret scanning can be enabled through code security configurations

Copilot secret scanning, which scans for passwords using AI, offers greater precision for detecting unstructured credentials that can cause security breaches if exposed.

You can now use code security configurations to enable Copilot secret scanning across your enterprise or organization, allowing you to control which repositories are detecting passwords at scale.

Copilot secret scanning is available for all repositories with a GitHub Advanced Security license. You do not need a Copilot license. To give you control over how AI is used across your repositories, Copilot secret scanning is not included in the GitHub Recommended configuration.

Learn more about protecting your repositories with secret scanning and generic secret detection.
