secrets-gitleaks

Description

Hardcoded secret detection and prevention in git repositories and codebases using Gitleaks. Identifies passwords, API keys, tokens, and credentials through regex-based pattern matching and entropy analysis. Use when: (1) Scanning repositories for exposed secrets and credentials, (2) Implementing pre-commit hooks to prevent secret leakage, (3) Integrating secret detection into CI/CD pipelines, (4) Auditing codebases for compliance violations (PCI-DSS, SOC2, GDPR), (5) Establishing baseline secret detection and tracking new exposures, (6) Remediating historical secret exposures in git history.
