detect-secrets (Bridgecrew Fork)

detect-secrets (Bridgecrew fork) is a Python tool designed for detecting secrets within a codebase. It focuses on enterprise use cases by providing a systematic way to prevent new secrets, detect explicit bypasses, and offer a checklist for secret migration. Unlike tools that solely find secrets, it emphasizes baseline management to allow for gradual remediation of existing secrets while blocking new ones. The current version is 1.5.47, and it is actively maintained on GitHub.
