Explanation

Secret scanning for a private repository is enabled through the repository's Code Security settings (Settings > Security > Code security and analysis). This is the dedicated security configuration panel where administrators can toggle secret scanning on or off. A secret.yml file does not exist for this purpose, code scanning default setup is specifically for CodeQL analysis, and repository rulesets govern branch protection and push rules - not secret scanning enablement.
