Patterns for git-secrets

This is a set of patterns for use with git-secrets, which we can use to keep sensitive data out of git.

Dependencies

Quick setup

  1. Install git-secrets (homebrew users may wish to brew install git-secrets --HEAD)

  2. Check this repo out to your filesystem

  3. Install the default patterns into git-secrets with git secrets --add-provider --global -- egrep -v '^$|^#' /path/to/development/tools/git-secret-patterns/default.txt

Usage

Scan a repo with git secrets --scan or use git secrets --scan-history to scan the entire commit history.

You can set up commit hooks in a particular repo with:

git secrets --install

Or install the secrets hooks globally (for newly created or cloned repos only):

git secrets --install ~/.git-templates/git-secrets
git config --global init.templateDir ~/.git-templates/git-secrets

For existing repos, you will want to go back and git secrets --install as described above.

See the git-secrets README for details.
