Enhanced push protection features for developers and organizations

GitHub has expanded its push protection features to enhance security and prevent secret leaks in public repositories. Initially available for free public repositories, push protection now includes user settings and organizational metrics to give individuals and organizations greater control over their code security. Users can enable push protection in their personal settings, ensuring all code committed to public repositories is safeguarded, while organizations can access insights into secret interception and bypass trends, helping them understand and mitigate potential security threats. These updates aim to reduce security incidents and improve productivity by preventing secrets from being pushed to public repositories, with features starting as opt-in during the public beta phase and eventually becoming default for all GitHub Free users.
