About push protection from the REST API
Push protection prevents you from accidentally committing secrets to a repository by blocking pushes containing supported secrets.
The "Create a blob" and "Create or update file contents" endpoints in the REST API include push protection. See Pontos de extremidade da API REST para blobs Git and Pontos de extremidade da API REST para conteúdos de repositório.
If you make a request with these endpoints whose content includes a supported secret, the REST API will return a 409 error, indicating that a secret has been detected.
To resolve the error, you can either:
- Remove the secret from the content of your API request before trying again.
- Create a push protection bypass: You can bypass push protection using the "Create a push protection bypass" endpoint. For more information, see Pontos de extremidade da API REST para verificação de segredos.
