About GitSentinel
GitSentinel scans GitHub repositories, pull-request diffs and CI logs for exposed secrets — before attackers find them. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
**Scan anywhere on GitHub**
- One-click full-repo scan from the popup or side panel, plus automatic scanning of the visible page
- PR diff scanner: checks only added (+) lines in pull requests, including "resolved later" detection
- CI log scanner: catches secrets echoed into Actions logs (5 MB safety cap, cached)
- Paste Guard warns before you paste a secret into github.com
20+ secret types, calibrated
Covers access keys, tokens, private keys and connection strings from major cloud and SaaS providers
Context-aware detection: tuned to ignore hashes, lockfiles and config noise — no alert fatigue
**Remediate, don't just detect**
- Per-secret Fix-It guides: rotate, gitignore (full repo-relative path), refactor to env, purge history with git filter-repo
- Security checklist per finding type
- Accept-risk baseline: triage once, hidden from future scans until you unaccept
**Built for real workflows**
- Masked by default, click-to-reveal with 30-second auto re-mask
- Full-text search + severity filters across findings
- Release & star tracking for saved repos, exposure-age estimates, version history
- JSON/CSV/SARIF export, JSON/HTML import
**Your secrets stay yours**
- Findings are stored masked only — raw values never touch chrome.storage
- No account, no servers, no analytics, no tracking
- The only network calls are to GitHub's public API (repo content you already have access to) plus an optional metadata relay you deploy yourself
- Optional PAT increases the API budget from 60 to 5,000 req/h and unlocks private repos
**How to use it**
1. Open any GitHub repo and click Scan, or let the side panel scan the visible page
2. Review findings grouped by severity — masked by default
3. Follow the Fix-It guide: rotate the credential, then purge it from history
