About
This skill provides a systematic framework for securing git repositories by discovering and neutralizing sensitive information such as passwords, private keys, and cloud provider credentials. It guides users through a multi-phase process—from comprehensive discovery using regex patterns to methodical replacement with standardized placeholders—while offering critical safeguards against common pitfalls like incomplete searches or formatting mismatches. Whether preparing a project for open-source release or performing a security audit, this resource ensures that no hardcoded secrets are accidentally exposed in configuration files, test fixtures, or documentation.
