GitHub Advanced Security |
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} has many features that help you improve and maintain the quality of your code. Some of these are included in all plans, such as dependency graph and {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot_alerts %}. Other security features require a {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} (GHAS){% ifversion fpt or ghec %} license to run on repositories apart from public repositories on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}{% endif %}.
{% data reusables.advanced-security.ghas-trial %}
{% ifversion ghes %}For information about buying a license for {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %}, see AUTOTITLE.{% elsif ghec %}For information about buying a license for {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %}, see AUTOTITLE.{% elsif fpt %}To purchase a {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} license, you must be using {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}. For information about upgrading to {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %}, see AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.{% endif %}
Note
If you want to use {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} with Azure Repos, see {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} & Azure DevOps in our resources site. For documentation, see Configure {% data variables.product.prodname_ghas_azdo %} in Microsoft Learn.
A {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} license provides the following additional features{% ifversion fpt %} for private repositories:{% else %}:{% endif %}
-
{% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_caps %} - Search for potential security vulnerabilities and coding errors in your code using {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} or a third-party tool. See AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.
-
{% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} - Run {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} processes locally on software projects or to generate {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} results for upload to {% data variables.product.product_name %}. See AUTOTITLE.
-
{% data variables.product.prodname_secret_scanning_caps %} - Detect secrets, for example keys and tokens, that have been checked into {% ifversion fpt %}private repositories{% else %} the repository{% endif %}. If push protection is enabled, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} also detects secrets when they are pushed to your repository. {% ifversion secret-scanning-enable-by-default-for-public-repos %}{% data variables.secret-scanning.user_alerts_caps %} and push protection are available and free of charge for all {% ifversion ghec %}user-owned {% endif %}public repositories on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.{% endif %} See AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.
{% ifversion dependabot-auto-triage-rules %}
- {% data variables.dependabot.custom_rules_caps %} - {% data reusables.dependabot.dependabot-custom-rules-ghas %}

{% endif %} {%- ifversion ghes %} The site administrator must enable {% data variables.product.prodname_advanced_security %} for {% data variables.location.product_location %} before you can use these features. See AUTOTITLE.
Once your system is set up, you can enable and disable these features at the organization or repository level.
{%- elsif ghec %} For public repositories these features are permanently on and can only be disabled if you change the visibility of the project so that the code is no longer public.
For other repositories, once you have a license for your enterprise account, you can enable and disable these features at the organization or repository level.
{%- endif %} See AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.
If you have an enterprise account, license use for the entire enterprise is shown on your enterprise license page. See AUTOTITLE.

{% ifversion github-certification %}
You can highlight your code security knowledge by earning a {% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} certificate with {% data variables.product.prodname_certifications %}. The certification validates your expertise in vulnerability identification, workflow security, and robust security implementation. See AUTOTITLE.
