GitHub has announced a new context-aware classifier for its secret push protection feature, which checks candidate secrets before they enter repository history.

According to GitHub's own announcement on X, the classifier checks candidate secrets in under 2 milliseconds and could more than double the number of secrets push protection prevents. These figures are GitHub's claims about its product, and no independent verification of the performance or prevention rate is included in the reporting.
