Secret scanning supports delegated bypass for push protection on file uploads (GA)

Secret scanning now supports delegated bypass controls for repository file uploads from the browser.

If delegated bypass is configured for an organization or repository, anyone without bypass permissions will need to submit a bypass request to approved reviewers in order to upload a file that contains a secret. This helps ensure that secrets are not accidentally committed to a repository.
