Tech stack & purpose
git-secrets is a developer tool that prevents accidental commits of passwords and other sensitive information to git repositories. It scans commits, commit messages, and merge histories against configurable regular expression patterns to detect and block secrets before they are committed. The tool is built as a git command-line utility installable on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with built-in support for detecting AWS credentials and patterns. The project was created by Michael Dowling and is maintained by AWS Labs, with contributions from Adrian Vatchinsky and Ari Juels of Cornell University.
