Yelp detect-secrets is a Python module for detecting secrets within a codebase; it scans files within a directory looking for secrets. It can be used as a Git pre-commit hook or to perform a scan in multiple places within the CI/CD pipeline. It comes with a default configuration that makes it very easy to use but can be modified to suit your needs. You can also install custom plugins to add to its default heuristic searches. Compared to similar offerings, we found that this tool detects more types of secrets with its out-of-the-box configuration.
