Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

TruffleHog v3 – Detect and automatically verify over 600 credential types
There are a lot of secret detection tools out there. It probably is going to depend a lot on the specific features you care about. I personally really like shhgit[0] which is MIT licensed and is the tool I've found to most match my workflows.

Fired for leaked credentials. How do I explain this?
Well, this doesn't really happen at places that don't suck. They had no least privilege access to critical secrets and no processes (like pre-commit hooks using git-secrets) to prevent them being committed.

How to deal with unintended information leakage when using GitHub as your GIT?
Install git-secrets. Go into each of your repos, scan for past mistakes, and add a git-commit hook:
- GitHub Access Token Exposure

Security scanning
I agree that code scanning is really important, the best way to convince others is to identify high-risk threats in source code and present them to the decision-makers. For example, scanning Secrets is great for showing how repositories can be a massive vulnerability and identifying some low-hanging fruit, especially in the git history. Attackers are really after git repository access for this reason and there are plenty of open-source or free tools that you can use to illustrate the problem. Git-Secrets, Truffle Hog. These aren't great for a long-term commercial solution, something like GitGuardian is a better commercial tool but if the goal is just to illustrate the problem then finding some high-value secrets with free tools is a good way to convince the security personnel to invest in some solutions. Then the door is open to having more conversations as you have already proven the risk.

Toyota Accidently Exposed a Secret Key Publicly on GitHub for Five Years
I worked for a big startup last year and was on a contract deadline for integrating a vendor framework into a React Native app.
It was taking too long to get a new temp demo license key and GitHub search with clever filters helped me track down a demo key that was recently uploaded to a test repo.
This is also why I use git-secrets in my repos.
