talisman

5 1,829 7.0 Go

Using a pre-commit hook, Talisman validates the outgoing changeset for things that look suspicious — such as tokens, passwords, and private keys.

Project mention: Detecting Secrets in Git Repositories | /r/kubernetes | 2023-07-07

It's been a while since I looked, but pre-commit hooks (like talisman) would be the only way to prevent secrets from being committed/pushed. Server-side hooks are generally not supported on hosted repos (e.g. github, azure devops) since it's basically arbitrary code execution from the host's perspective.
