    message: A gitleaks github-fine-grained-pat was detected which attempts to
      identify hard-coded credentials. It is not recommended to store
      credentials in source-code, as this risks secrets being leaked and used by
      either an internal or external malicious adversary. It is recommended to
      use environment variables to securely provide credentials or retrieve
      credentials from a secure vault or HSM (Hardware Security Module).
