GitHub Secret Scanning scans repositories for known types of secrets, to prevent fraudulent use of secrets that were committed accidentally. This protects users from fraud and data leaks.
Contributed Systems provides open source and commercial background job systems (Sidekiq and Faktory) for business applications written in a variety of programming languages, including Ruby, Go, Python, and JavaScript. If your Contributed Systems credentials are committed to a public repository, we'll send those matches to them and they'll reach out to you directly.
We continue to welcome new partners for public repo secret scanning. In addition, GitHub Advanced Security customers can also scan their private repositories for leaked secrets.

Organizations can now display a README.md on their profile Overview.
Start with creating a .github repository for the desired organization. Make sure it's public. Add a profile folder to your .github repository and add a README.md file to the profile folder.
The contents of your README.md file will appear on the Overview page of the organization, visible to everyone. For an example, see the GitHub Overview page or learn more in the documentation.
