# Getting Started

GitHub is a service that allows you to store and manage your code and other assets within repositories.

Nightfall DLP for GitHub protects your data, like API keys and secrets, from leakages that could happen when using GitHub. Nightfall scans commits to Git repositories, identifies sensitive information, and prevents it from being leaked.

Nightfall for GitHub supports the following cloud editions of GitHub:

* Enterprise Cloud
* Enterprise Servers &#x20;
* For Teams and Startups

You can install and authorize Nightfall DLP app package in GitHub.
