Topic #: 5
What happens when you enable secret scanning on a private repository?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

When secret scanning is enabled on a private repository,GitHub performs a read-only analysisof the repository's contents. This includes the entire Git history and files to identify strings that match known secret patterns or custom-defined patterns.
GitHub does not alter the repository, and enabling secret scanningdoes not automatically enablecode scanning or dependency review - each must be configured separately.
