gitleaks/gitleaks v7.0.0

on GitHub

What's new:

A lot. v7.0.0 might piss some people off but hey, that's why v6.2.0 exists. I kinda hated the way Gitleaks
was structured which resulted in a creeping dread when even thinking about maintaining this project. So I did what
any good software engineer would do (the following is a joke) -- completely rewrote gitleaks (okay okay some of the utils and algos stayed the same). So you may be wondering, why did I do this? Well, I'm hoping this will
help the longevity of the project and make it easier to contribute now that the code follows a
factory pattern (see the scan package). Perhaps what folks will be most upset about is the removal of the hosts option, no more
scanning groups, projects, owners, users, or PRs/MRs directly using gitlab/github's APIs. This is something I just don't want to maintain anymore so feel free to use gitleaks as a library and create your own github/gitlab gitleaks scanner or use this script. On a lighter note, v7.0.0 includes some new features.

• Updated exit codes. 0 if gitleaks ran successfully (leaks found or no leaks found), 1 if error has occurred.
• Removal of --pretty. Pretty printing leaks is now the default
• Removal of deduplication for leaks. If two different rules detect the same offender they will be both reported.
• Removal of --timeout option
• Replaced --repo-config with --repo-config-path. This will load a repo's config if available.
• Add remote leak resource with LeakURL
• Added no-git options for directory and file scanning (maybe someone will develop a vim/IDE plugin for gitleaks??). --no-git also supports threaded execution for speedy scans
• Replaced --repo-path and --owner-path with -p,--path. Gitleaks will determine if --path is a git repo or directory containing git repos. If supplied with a --no-git option gitleaks will scan all the contents of --path. This could be a directory or file.
• Replaced --repo with --repo-url
• Replaced --disk with --clone-path. No more cloning to tmp dir
• Scans that require a git clone and have --branch or --depth set are speedier as both --branch and --depth are set as clone options.
• Replaced --uncommited with --unstaged

What's fixed:

• Line number extraction bug
