⁠GitGuardian Shield⁠: protect your secrets with GitGuardian

ggshield is a CLI application that runs in your local environment or in a CI environment to help you detect more than 400+ types of secrets, as well as other potential security vulnerabilities or policy breaks affecting your code base.

ggshield uses our public API through py-gitguardian (Python client library) to scan and detect potential vulnerabilities in files and other text content.

Only metadata such as call time, request size, and scan mode is stored from scans using ggshield; therefore, secrets and policy break incidents will not be displayed on your dashboard, and your files and secrets won't be stored.

You'll need an API Key from GitGuardian⁠ to use ggshield.

Add the API Key to your environment variables:

GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY=<GitGuardian API Key>
