Git-secrets is a security utility designed to prevent the accidental exposure of sensitive credentials by integrating automated scanning directly into the version control commit lifecycle. It functions as a commit scanner that evaluates staged files and commit messages against defined security policies before changes are finalized in a repository. The tool utilizes regular expression pattern matching to identify potential secrets and supports the registration of custom patterns to address specific organizational security requirements. To manage operational friction, it includes mechanisms for
