kootenpv/gittyleaks : Find sensitive information for a git repo
▻https://github.com/kootenpv/gittyleaks

Discover where your sensitive data has been leaked.
Very often it happens that when mocking/just starting out with a new project on github, sensitive data gets added. API keys, usernames, passwords and emails are easily added.... and then forgotten.

Use this tool to detect where the mistakes are in your repos.

It works by trying to find words like ’username’, ’password’, and ’email’ and shortenings in quoted strings, config style or JSON format. It captures the value assigned to it (after meeting some conditions) for further work.
