When a public repository contains credentials that match known secret formats, GitHub will automatically notify the service provider that issued the secret. This process is known as "secret scanning partner notification". The provider may then revoke the secret or contact the user directly.
GitHub does not publicly display the alert and does not send internal repository notifications for public detections.
