In this in-depth walkthrough, we will show you how to turn ggshield, the GitGuardian CLI, into a practical guardrail for keeping secrets out of your code and CI pipelines. You’ll see exactly how to install and authenticate ggshield, then use it to scan repositories, local paths, archives, Docker images, PyPI packages, and CI environments for hardcoded credentials. We’ll also walk through configuring Git hooks with ggshield install.

Get up and running with ggshield, the GitGuardian CLI, in just a few minutes by installing it, authenticating, and running your first secrets scan. This quick-start video shows you how to scan individual files and entire projects, then lock in protection with a pre-commit Git hook to keep secrets out of your commits.

Watch our security researcher Guillaume Valadon break down the sophisticated ShaiHulud 2.0 attack where malware exfiltrates secrets directly to GitHub using stolen developer credentials.

We discovered hackers were testing Shai-Hulud 2.0 three days before the attack. Our researcher Guillaume Valadon explains how GitGuardian's data helped us warn hundreds of companies who didn't even know they were compromised.
