- Under security_and_analysis
Specify which security and analysis features to enable or disable for the repository.
To use this parameter, you must have admin permissions for the repository or be an owner or security manager for the organization that owns the repository. For more information, see "Managing security managers in your organization."
For example, to enable GitHub Advanced Security, use this data in the body of the PATCH request:{ "security_and_analysis": {"advanced_security": { "status": "enabled" } } }
.
You can check which security and analysis features are currently enabled by using a GET/repos/{owner}/{repo}
request.
New Feature
Github supports secrets scanning and blocking push commits. It's possible to enable this org wide at https://github.com/organizations/$ORG/settings/security_analysis
with the following flags
secret_scanning_new_repos: enabled
secret_scanning_push_protection_new_repos: enabled
adding these to safe-settings would prevent drift from repo admins disabling it in individual repos.
