When apublic repositorycontains credentials that match known secret formats, GitHub willautomatically notify the service providerthat issued the secret. This process is known as"secret scanning partner notification". The provider may then revoke the secret or contact the userdirectly.
GitHub doesnotpublicly display the alert and does not send internal repository notifications for public detections.
