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. ### Package name * betterleaks --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * Today - latest/stable * Today - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [betterleaks.com](https://betterleaks.com "https://betterleaks.com") --- ### Contact * [github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues](https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues "https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks](https://github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks "https://github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks") * [github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap](https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap "https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks/issues](https://github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks/issues "https://github.com/betterleaks/betterleaks/issues") * [github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues](https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues "https://github.com/sidalit/betterleaks-snap/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/betterleaks/kubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about betterleaks ›](https://snapcraft.io/betterleaks) ## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install Betterleaks Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
