Explanation

GitHub's Code scanning is a feature that analyzes the code in a GitHub repository to find security vulnerabilities and coding errors, providing alerts in the repository and offering tools to triage, prioritize, and fix issues. It acts as a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool, using engines like CodeQL to detect issues like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and can be triggered automatically on events like pushes and pull requests.
