Exit Codes
code explanation
0 Gitleaks succeeded with no leaks
1 Gitleaks failed or wasn't attempted due to execution failure
2 Gitleaks succeeded and leaks were present during the audit
Use these codes to hook gitleaks into whatever pipeline you're running

Examples
gitleaks
Run audit on current working directory if .git is present
gitleaks --local $HOME/audits/some/repo
Run audit on repo located in HOME/audits/some/repo if .git is present
gitleaks https://github.com/some/repo
Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to
gitleaks --clone-path=$HOME/Desktop/audits https://github.com/some/repo
Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to $HOME/Desktop/audits
gitleaks --temp https://github.com/some/repo
Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to $TMPDIR (this will remove repos after audit is complete)
gitleaks --temp -u https://github.com/some-user
Run audit on all of some-user's repos. Again, --temp flag will clone all repos into $TMPDIR after be removed after audit

If you find a valid leak in a repo
Please read the Github article on removing sensitive data from a repository to remove the sensitive information from your history.
