To add my anecdote, testing out Trufflehog versus Gitleaks and detect-secrets the other tools seemed superior on detection rate and easier to work with.

Yelp has a "detect-secrets" project that can detect potential secrets and can be used as a pre-commit hook: https://github.com/Yelp/detect-secrets

detect-secret is an enterprise-friendly tool for detecting and preventing secrets in the code base. We can also scan the non-git tracked files. There are other tools as well like Gitleaks which also provide similar functionality.

As presented in the report, a lot of secrets are hardcoded in the Git repository. This can be detected by secret detection tools. There are OSS like https://github.com/Yelp/detect-secrets or SaaS alternatives. The detection process can be executed by every team member locally using Git Hooks and on Github using Github Checks on the Pull Request level.
