Resolving a blocked push

To resolve a blocked push, you must remove the secret from all of the commits it appears in.

Removing a secret introduced by the latest commit on your branch

  1. Remove the secret from your code.
  2. To commit the changes, run git commit --amend --all. This updates the original commit that introduced the secret instead of creating a new commit.
  3. Push your changes with git push.

Removing a secret introduced by an earlier commit on your branch

  1. Examine the error message that displayed when you tried to push your branch, which lists all of the commits that contain the secret.

    remote:   —— GitHub Personal Access Token ——————————————————————
    remote:    locations:
    remote:      - commit: 8728dbe67
    remote:        path: README.md:4
    remote:      - commit: 03d69e5d3
    remote:        path: README.md:4
    remote:      - commit: 8053f7b27
    remote:        path: README.md:4
    
  2. Next, run git log to see a full history of all the commits on your branch, along with their corresponding timestamps.

    test-repo (test-branch)]$ git log
    commit 8053f7b27 (HEAD -> main)
    Author: Octocat <1000+octocat@users.noreply.github.com
    Date:   Tue Jan 30 13:03:37 2024 +0100
    
      my fourth commit message
    
    commit 03d69e5d3
    Author: Octocat <1000+octocat@users.noreply.github.com>
    Date:   Tue Jan 30 13:02:59 2024 +0100
    
      my third commit message
    
    commit 8728dbe67
    Author: Octocat <1000+octocat@users.noreply.github.com
    Date:   Tue Jan 30 13:01:36 2024 +0100
    
      my second commit message
    
    commit 6057cbe51
    Author: Octocat <1000+octocat@users.noreply.github.com
    Date:   Tue Jan 30 12:58:24 2024 +0100
    
      my first commit message
    
    
  3. Focusing only on the commits that contain the secret, use the output of git log to identify which commit comes earliest in your Git history.

    • In the example, commit 8728dbe67 was the first commit to contain the secret.
  4. Start an interactive rebase with git rebase -i <COMMIT-ID>~1.

    • For <COMMIT-ID>, use the commit identified in step 3. For example, git rebase -i 8728dbe67~1.
  5. In the editor, choose to edit the commit identified in step 3 by changing pick to edit on the first line of the text.

    edit 8728dbe67 my second commit message
    pick 03d69e5d3 my third commit message
    pick 8053f7b27 my fourth commit message
    
  6. Save and close the editor to start the interactive rebase.

  7. Remove the secret from your code.

  8. Add your changes to the staging area using git add ..

    Nota:

    The full command is git add .:

    • There is a space between add and ..
    • The period following the space is part of the command.
  9. Commit your changes using git commit --amend.

  10. Run git rebase --continue to finish the rebase.

  11. Push your changes with git push.

Bypassing push protection

Nota:

If you don't see the option to bypass a block, you should remove the secret from the commit, or submit a request for "bypass privileges" in order to push the blocked secret. See Requesting bypass privileges.

  1. Visit the URL returned by GitHub when your push was blocked, as the same user that performed the push. If a different user attempts to visit this URL, they will receive a 404 error.

  2. Choose the option that best describes why you should be able to push the secret.

    • If the secret is only used in tests and poses no threat, click It's used in tests.

    • If the detected string is not a secret, click It's a false positive.

    • If the secret is real but you intend to fix it later, click I'll fix it later.

    Nota:

    You are required to specify a reason for bypassing push protection if the repository has secret scanning enabled.

    When pushing to a public repository that doesn't have secret scanning enabled, you are still protected from accidentally pushing secrets thanks to push protection for users, which is on by default for your user account.

    With push protection for users, GitHub will automatically block pushes to public repositories if these pushes contain supported secrets, but you won't need to specify a reason for allowing the secret, and GitHub won't generate an alert. For more information, see Push protection for users.

  3. Click Allow me to push this secret.

  4. Reattempt the push on the command line within three hours. If you have not pushed within three hours, you will need to repeat this process.

Requesting bypass privileges

  1. Visit the URL returned by GitHub when your push was blocked, as the same user that performed the push. If a different user attempts to visit this URL, they will receive a 404 error.

  2. Under "Or request bypass privileges", add a comment. For example, you might explain why you believe the secret is safe to push, or provide context about the request to bypass the block.

  3. Click Submit request.

  4. Check your email notifications for a response to your request. Once your request has been reviewed, you will receive an email notifying you of the decision.

    • If your request is approved, you can push the commit (or commits) containing the secret to the repository, as well as any future commits that contain the same secret.
    • If your request is denied, you need to remove the secret from all commits before pushing again. For information on how to remove a blocked secret, see Resolving a blocked push.
