About
Gitleaks looks for passwords, API keys and tokens that were left in code by mistake. You can point it at a local git repository, a folder of files, or text piped in through standard input.
It runs from the command line and can also be added as a pre-commit hook or a GitHub Action, so a check happens before secrets get shared. The project is marked feature complete: future releases are limited to security patches. It is installed with Homebrew, Docker or Go.
Highlights
- Scans git history, folders and stdin
- Works as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action
- Finds passwords, API keys and tokens
Who it's for
Good for developers who want to catch passwords and API keys before they reach a shared repository.
