#### Find leaked secrets in Git, files, code hosts and S3 buckets

Betterleaks detects passwords, API keys, tokens and other secrets in the
history of Git repositories, in directories and files, in text read from
standard input, and in GitHub, GitLab, Hugging Face and S3 sources. It can
check findings against live APIs, reads Gitleaks configuration files, and
writes reports as JSON, CSV, JUnit, SARIF or a custom template.

**Examples**

```
betterleaks git -v ~/projects/my-project
betterleaks dir -v ~/projects/my-project
cat notes.txt | betterleaks stdin
betterleaks github https://github.com/my-org --validation
```

**File access**

Betterleaks can scan repositories and files in your home directory. To
also scan USB drives and other removable media (/media, /mnt), run:

```
sudo snap connect betterleaks:removable-media
```

The snap includes Git for scanning history and cloning over HTTPS.
