What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical security need to find and remove sensitive information (like credentials or API keys) that may have been accidentally committed to a Git repository, ensuring that such data cannot be recovered even from historical or corrupted states.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secret Recovery: Locates sensitive data within Git's internal object store, including reflogs, unreachable commits, and pack files.
  • Secure Cleanup: Provides a robust workflow to permanently remove secrets from the repository's history using Git's garbage collection and history rewriting tools.
  • Verification: Offers comprehensive checks to confirm that secrets are no longer retrievable through various Git commands and object inspection methods.
  • Use Case: An API key was accidentally pushed to a public repository. This Skill guides you through finding all instances of that key, removing it from all Git objects, and verifying its complete erasure.

Quick Start

Use the git-leak-recovery skill to find and remove the secret pattern 'AKIAIOSF....' from the repository's history.
