Scan recent commits in repository for secrets with basic trufflehog defaults in place for easy setup.
This action is intended as a Continuous Integration secret scan in an already "clean" repository. The default commit scan depth is the last 50 commits and can be adjusted using Custom Arguments (see below).
It is recommended to run a basic trufflehog scan on your entire repository prior to relying on this CI solution (Note: this can be done manually from the command line or by using this action with custom options "--regex --entropy=False"
).
workflow "Detect Secrets" {
on = "push"
resolves = ["nasa-gibs/trufflehog-actions-scan"]
}
action "nasa-gibs/trufflehog-actions-scan" {
uses = "nasa-gibs/trufflehog-actions-scan@master"
}
Default trufflehog options for this tool include:
-
regex : Enable high signal regex checks
-
entropy disabled: Disabled entropy checks
-
max depth is 50: The max commit depth to go back when searching for secrets

You can't use the default GITHUB_TOKEN
as it doesn't have the permission to clone the repository.
