What it does
GitGuardian is the first platform scanning all GitHub public activity in real time for API secret tokens, database credentials or vault keys. Be alerted in seconds. Integrate in minutes.
Secure your SDLC and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) with GitGuardian 🔐 — detect secrets in code, repos, and tools. Available as SaaS or Self-Hosted.
The question isn't whether attackers will get to your perimeter. It's what they find when they do. Modern infostealers harvested billions of credentials last year from developer laptops, CI pipelines, source code, public GitHub, and every machine identity in your stack. We're the first platform built for secrets across the full lifecycle. GitGuardian CLI (ggshield) gives you maximum visibility wherever code is written, pre-commit, pre-push, the IDE, AI coding tools and sessions, plus the agent skills, plugins, and MCP servers your developers now run. → Full visibility on the dev laptop. → 550+ secret types. → Skip false positives. Monitor every source where secrets leak: code repositories,…from gitguardian.com

Hey HN, Every team I've been on has cobbled together some sort of combination of GitHub branch protections and custom scripts to make sure that PRs conform to organization policies and best practices. Things like: - When {X} file is changed, require review from team {Y} - When a new db migration is added, ensure that a special set of tests pass - Require multiple approvals when the PR is very large - Add a special label to PRs that include breaking changes - Allow emergencies / hotfixes to break glass and bypass all of the above Most teams tend to start out with a little script running…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
