Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

[Help Needed] Securing Customized Gitleaks and Backend Communication?
I work in IT and we're enhancing our 'Shift Left Security' approach to prevent sensitive data leaks in our GitHub repositories. We've customized Gitleaks to send git-related information (like remote repository, author details, commit hash etc.) to our backend after each commit. This setup helps us monitor Gitleaks usage among our developers. (gitleaks)

My boss keeps committing his creds into git
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.

Tools for very basic security audits
Some tools to consider: Gitleaks - open-source secret scanner for git repositories, files, and directories. Retire.js - dependency check tool for client JS code. Censys - It’s a search engine that you can use, for example, to scan any IP address and check open ports, software versions, location of the servers, etc. If you want to check more tools, you can download this free ebook with a list of recommended security tools: https://brightinventions.pl/blog/app-security-free-ebook/ The listed tools are free or offer free trials.

Someone has access to my private repos = I lost 140k
I GET IT I need to follow best practice and not upload any sensitive information, even if its a private repo. But through my 10 yeras of coding it happened twice. However these keys only lived in 2 areas: my laptop and GITHUB. My laptop is pretty secured, and the timing of the above events just make me really think someone internally at Github is running https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks on private repos he / she has access to.

Security scanning
I agree that code scanning is really important, the best way to convince others is to identify high-risk threats in source code and present them to the decision-makers. For example, scanning Secrets is great for showing how repositories can be a massive vulnerability and identifying some low-hanging fruit, especially in the git history. Attackers are really after git repository access for this reason and there are plenty of open-source or free tools that you can use to illustrate the problem. Git-Secrets, Truffle Hog. These aren't great for a long-term commercial solution, something like GitGuardian is a better commercial tool but if the goal is just to illustrate the problem then finding some high-value secrets with free tools is a good way to convince the security personnel to invest in some solutions. Then the door is open to having more conversations as you have already proven the risk.

Thinking Like a Hacker: Abusing Stolen Private Keys
First up is the leaked TLS private key. Poor Corp added their wildcard certificate to their GitLab image, but they didn’t consider that anyone could steal the private key from the Docker image once published on Docker Hub. Rather than adding sensitive files and hardcoded environment variables to their containers while they were being built, Poor Corp should have used runtime environment variables and mounted volumes to pass secrets into the container—by the way, ggshield, the secrets detection CLI from GitGuardian, has a command for scanning Docker images. If you find that you’ve also made this mistake, you need to immediately revoke any certificates or credentials that were exposed.

How to make security policies a team effort
GitGuardian’s CLI, ggshield, can be installed as a pre-commit hook on a developer’s workstation to act like a security seatbelt preventing any secret from being committed locally in the first place. If a developer chooses to bypass the guardrail and push a secret anyway, the event is reported in the GitGuardian dashboard. This allows security teams to have eyes on any possible policy issues as developers build—all without holding up their progress. These tools can detect risks, watch for vulnerabilities, and notify the right people in a non-intrusive way.

Life is Too Short to Review Spaces
ggshield is one of the tools we develop at GitGuardian to help secure the codebase. Integrated as a hook it will scan the content of the git patch to make sure it does not contains any secret like an API token.
