Gitleaks GitHub Action

Gitleaks Action provides a simple way to run Gitleaks in your CI/CD pipeline.

Why here?

This repository is here to support the Gitleaks action with all the updates from Gitleaks source project. With the new 2.0 version of gitleaks/gitleaks-action GitHub Action they went to a commercial licence.

Sample Workflow

name: gitleaks

on: [push,pull_request]

jobs:
  gitleaks:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: gitleaks-action
      uses: dhsathiya/gitleaks-action@master

Using your own .gitleaks.toml configuration

name: gitleaks

on: [push,pull_request]

jobs:
  gitleaks:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: gitleaks-action
      uses: dhsathiya/gitleaks-action@master
      with:
        config-path: security/.gitleaks.toml

> The `config-path` is relative to your GitHub Worskpace

NOTE!!!

You must use actions/checkout before the gitleaks-action step. If you are using actions/checkout@v2 you must specify a commit depth other than the default which is 1.

ex:

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        fetch-depth: '0'
    - name: gitleaks-action
      uses: dhsathiya/gitleaks-action@master

using a fetch-depth of '0' clones the entire history. If you want to do a more efficient clone, use '2', but that is not guaranteed to work with pull requests.
