Explanation

Custom patterns are an extension of the secret scanning feature - they allow you to supplement GitHub's built-in detection rules with your own regex-based patterns. Because custom patterns are a component of secret scanning, secret scanning must be enabled on the repository first. Repository visibility, existing alert status, and additional match criteria are not required prerequisites to define a custom pattern.
