Excerpt

Secrets Detection with Gitleaks

Overview

Gitleaks is a secret detection tool that scans git repositories, files, and directories for hardcoded credentials including passwords, API keys, tokens, and other sensitive information. It uses regex-based pattern matching combined with Shannon entropy analysis to identify secrets that could lead to unauthorized access if exposed.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Gitleaks into DevSecOps workflows, from pre-commit hooks to CI/CD pipelines, with emphasis on preventing secret leakage before code reaches production.
