security-gitleaks

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens from being accidentally committed to your code repositories, safeguarding your projects from security breaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Secret Detection: Scans current files, git history, and staged changes for secrets.
• Prevention: Integrates with pre-commit hooks and CI/CD pipelines to stop secrets before they are committed.
• Customizable Rules: Allows defining specific rules and allowlists for your project's needs (e.g., Supabase keys, JWT secrets).
• Use Case: Automatically scan all new commits for accidentally exposed AWS access keys and fail the build if any are found.

Quick Start

Run a basic Gitleaks scan on the current directory to detect secrets.
