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.

- Tencent WeChat is now a GitHub secret scanning partner
- Why do people use plain text for usernames and passwords on Github? A cautionary tale.

Searching across github
Shhgit is a really neat tool for this
- Around 50,000 GitHub credentials leaked as metadata inside commits

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.

My MetaMask Private Keys Stolen from GitHub Private Repo in 1 Hour
Assuming that the person you were working with didn't drain your wallet, there are many tools which can be used to actively monitor for commits being done on GitHub with secrets of sort.
The first one that comes to my mind is shhgit (https://github.com/eth0izzle/shhgit)
Anyone can self host it and then add multiple GitHub Dev keys to it. Then this can be used to monitor GitHub commits being done, majority of which can be categorized as "secrets".
- Ask HN: What are the best automated tools for keeping credentials out of GitHub?

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.

Recovering from Accidentally Pushing Sensitive Information to a Remote Git Repository
# macOS brew install git-secrets # Linux git clone https://github.com/awslabs/git-secrets.git cd git-secrets make install
- Managing secrets like API keys in Python - Why are so many devs still hardcoding secrets?
-
If you pay for an API key depending on the amount of requests, is it safe to push your code to GitHub?
You could use Git hooks to prevent someone from being able to author a commit when you suspect there is a secret being committed. In addition to this, you could also perform this check server-side, in case someone did not run their Git hooks for whatever reason. For example, check out git-secrets.

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.
