8 years ago I wrote the first lines of Gitleaks and have been hooked on finding leaked secrets since. Gitleaks grew from a small project to a name recognized by developers and security folks. It sucks but I gotta take a step back from the project. I'll cut security releases but don't expect any new features from me.
But I'm not stepping back from secrets scanning! I'm working full time on maintaining Betterleaks, a drop-in replacement for Gitleaks with some fun new features and improvements like rule-defined validation, faster scans, new filters like token efficiency, and more.
Happy to chat about it and sorry if this causes any migration headache
`alias gitleaks='betterleaks'` should do the trick
