Description

A security auditing tool that scans Git repositories for leaked secrets, tokens, keys, passwords, and credential-like patterns. It helps developers find sensitive data before it is pushed or released.

Use it as an early warning tool, not a complete guarantee. Findings should be reviewed, revoked when real, and paired with secret rotation and history cleanup where needed.
