detect-secrets
detect-secrets is a security tool designed to identify and prevent secrets from being committed to code repositories. The tool scans source code across multiple programming languages to detect sensitive information such as API keys, database credentials, passwords, and other confidential data. The tool operates as a pre-commit hook and can be integrated into development workflows to automatically scan code before it is committed to version control systems. It uses pattern matching and heuristic analysis to identify potential secrets while minimizing false positives through configurable rules and baseline management. detect-secrets supports various secret types including AWS credentials, private keys, database connection strings, and custom patterns. The tool can generate baseline files to track known secrets and exclude them from future scans, allowing teams to manage existing secrets while preventing new ones from being introduced. The tool provides command-line interface functionality and can be configured to work with continuous integration pipelines. It offers audit capabilities to review detected secrets and mark them as legitimate or false positives, helping maintain an accurate security posture across development projects.
