Instant Secret Detection That Scales to Large Repos
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about GitGuardian is how it automatically detects secrets and sensitive data in code — even in large repositories and alerts you instantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about GitGuardian is that it can sometimes generate false positives, which requires manual review and can slow things down slightly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GitGuardian solves the problem of exposed secrets and sensitive data in source code and version control systems. It continuously scans code repositories, commits, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines to automatically detect API keys, credentials, tokens, and other secrets that shouldn’t be in code. By alerting developers and security teams instantly, it prevents leaks that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or financial loss.
The benefits I get from this are:
🔒 Better security — I don’t have to worry about secrets accidentally being committed.
⚡ Faster detection — Issues are caught early, before they reach production.
👩💻 Smoother development workflows — Developers can focus on building rather than manually auditing code.
📊 Clear visibility and tracking — I can see where exposures happen and fix them quickly.

Top-Notch Secret Detection and Auto Review Features
What do you like best about the product?
The auto review of the files after pushing and the detection system of the secrets is top notch of the Gitguardian. That's what I love most about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific but the process of finding the leaked variable is a little difficult which can be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are many problems that it is solving like for example env variables leak detection, even security detection if there is any kind of vulnerability or something in the code.
This really helps me to protect my secrets from the world and in very very efficient way
Because it is really difficult to keep up the detection yourself if the code is thousands of lines.

Comprehensive Password Leak Detection You Can Trust
What do you like best about the product?
I fancy that GitGuardian let's me know almost all the possible issues with leaked passwords as there is to know.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't really think of something I dislike about their service. We're all progressing in life and so are the systems. Maybe in future it is possible to scan *example set passwords and flag them as not a real hard coded password, with the use of ai.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This system gives me some assurance about hard coded passwords in my code. Although I can be pretty sure about my code it's nice to have another system to double check the facts.
Accurate Secret Detection and Token Validation Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The tool scans for secrets and tokens, and it also highlights the exact location of any leaked token. Additionally, it identifies which specific token has been exposed and indicates whether it is still valid.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could you please provide a student offer? I would really appreciate it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software developer who is still learning, I sometimes forget to store secrets in the .env file. That's where gitguardian comes in—it notifies me whenever I accidentally commit a token.
The Best Solution for Secure Key Sharing
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is the best solution I've found for addressing the issue of sharing secret keys through bad practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment, this isn't an issue for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool helped me resolve issues related to my secret keys and addressed the problems assigned to me. I found the settings easy to understand, and I am grateful for this tool.
Instant Secrets Detection with Actionable Alerts
What do you like best about the product?
GitGuardian delivers immediate detection and response. When a sensitive file, credential, or secret slips into a commit, it flags it within seconds and pinpoints the exact line that triggered the alert. The platform forces clarity: it shows the severity, lets me classify the criticality, and pushes fast remediation instead of noise. The value is precision, speed, and zero guesswork.
What do you dislike about the product?
The alerting is fast, but the volume can feel heavy when working across multiple repos with frequent commits. False positives still appear, which adds review time. The remediation steps are clear, yet the interface for navigating multiple incidents can feel cluttered, and sorting through similar alerts requires extra manual filtering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It closes the gap between accidental secret exposure and detection. The moment a credential or sensitive file is committed, it identifies the leak, marks the exact line, and forces immediate remediation. This removes manual scanning, reduces the risk window, and keeps repos clean during SAST and secure code review.
Excellent Protection for Project Privacy
What do you like best about the product?
It's a good software which always warna me if I had leaked any private information about my projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet, everything is good the alert system is also good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving my API leaking problem sometimes I push my .env files with my project and it warns me immediately
