ggshield: protect your secrets with GitGuardian

ggshield is a CLI application that runs in your local environment or in a CI environment to help you detect more than 300 types of secrets, as well as other potential security vulnerabilities or policy breaks.

ggshield uses our public API through py-gitguardian to scan and detect potential secrets on files and other text content.

Only metadata such as call time, request size and scan mode is stored from scans using ggshield, therefore secrets and policy breaks incidents will not be displayed on your dashboard and your files and secrets won't be stored.

Installation

macOS

Using Homebrew

You can install ggshield using Homebrew by running the following command:

$ brew install gitguardian/tap/ggshield

Linux packages

Deb and RPM packages are available on Cloudsmith.

Setup instructions:

Other Operating Systems

Using pip

Install and update using pip:

$ pip install ggshield

ggshield supports Python 3.7 and newer.

The package should run on MacOS, Linux and Windows.

Updating

To update ggshield you can add the option -U/--upgrade to the pip install command.

$ pip install -U ggshield

Initial setup

To use ggshield you need to authenticate against GitGuardian servers. To do so, use the ggshield auth login command. This command automates the provisioning of a personal access token and its configuration on the local workstation.

You can learn more about it from ggshield auth login documentation.

Alternatively, you can create your personal access token manually and you can store it in the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable to complete the setup.

Once this is done, you can start scanning a repository with with ggshield secret scan repo /path/to/your/repo.

Configuration

Configuration in ggshield follows a global>local>CLI configuration scheme.

Meaning options on local overwrite or extend global and options on CLI overwrite or extend local.

ggshield will search for a global configuration file in the user's home directory (example: ~/.gitguardian.yml on Linux and %USERPROFILE%\.gitguardian on Windows).

ggshield will recognize as well a local configuration file in the user's working directory (example: ./.gitguardian.yml).

You can also use the option --config-path on the main command to set another configuration file. In this case, neither local nor global configuration files will be evaluated (example: ggshield --config-path=~/Desktop/only_config.yaml scan path -r .)

A sample configuration file can be found at .gitguardian.example

# Required, otherwise ggshield considers the file to use the deprecated v1 format
version: 2

# Set to true if the desired exit code for the CLI is always 0, otherwise the
# exit code will be 1 if incidents are found.
exit-zero: false # default: false

verbose: false # default: false

instance: https://api.gitguardian.com # default: https://api.gitguardian.com

# Maximum commits to scan in a hook.
max-commits-for-hook: 50 # default: 50

# Accept self-signed certificates for the API.
allow-self-signed: false # default: false

secret:
  # Exclude files and paths by globbing
  ignored-paths:
    - '**/README.md'
    - 'doc/*'
    - 'LICENSE'

  # Ignore security incidents with the SHA256 of the occurrence obtained at output or the secret itself
  ignored-matches:
    - name:
      match: 530e5a4a7ea00814db8845dd0cae5efaa4b974a3ce1c76d0384ba715248a5dc1
    - name: credentials
      match: MY_TEST_CREDENTIAL

  show-secrets: false # default: false

  # Detectors to ignore.
  ignored-detectors: # default: []
    - Generic Password

Migrating a v1 configuration file

If you have a v1 configuration file, you can run ggshield config migrate to let ggshield migrate it for you. The command modifies the configuration file in place, but it keeps the previous version as a .gitguardian.yaml.old file.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps to migrate your configuration file manually:

debug: false # default: false

Add a version: 2 entry.
If the configuration file contains an all-policies key, remove it: it's no longer supported.
If the configuration file contains an ignore-default-excludes key, remove it: it's no longer supported.
If the configuration file contains an api-url key, replace it with an instance key, pointing to the dashboard URL.
If the configuration file contains one of the following keys: paths-ignore, matches-ignore, show-secrets, banlisted-detectors:
1. Create a secret key.
2. Move paths-ignore to secret.ignored-paths.
3. Move matches-ignore to secret.ignored-matches. If some match entries are strings instead of (name, match) objects, turn them into (name, match) objects.
4. Move banlisted-detectors to secret.ignored-detectors.
5. Move show-secrets to secret.show-secrets.

Here is an example of a v1 configuration file:

all-policies: false

api-url: https://example.com/exposed

show-secrets: true

paths-ignore:
  - '**/README.md'

matches-ignore:
  - SOME_SECRET
  - name: foo
    match: 530e5a4a7ea00814db8845dd0cae5efaa4b974a3ce1c76d0384ba715248a5dc1

banlisted-detectors:
  - Generic Password

And here is the equivalent v2 file:

version: 2

instance: https://example.com

secret:
  show-secrets: true

  ignored-paths:
    - '**/README.md'

  ignored-matches:
    - name: a name for this secret
      match: SOME_SECRET
	  - name: foo
      match: 530e5a4a7ea00814db8845dd0cae5efaa4b974a3ce1c76d0384ba715248a5dc1

  ignored-detectors:
    - Generic Password

Environment Variables

ggshield can also be configured using environment variables.

Environment variables overrides settings set on your configuration file but are overridden by command line options.

At startup, ggshield attempts to load environment variables from different environment files in the following order:

path pointed to by the environment variable GITGUARDIAN_DOTENV_PATH
.env at your current work directory.
.env at the root of the current git directory

Only one file will be loaded of the three.

Reference of current environment variables supported by ggshield:

GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY: API Key for the GitGuardian API. Use this if you don't want to use the ggshield auth commands.
GITGUARDIAN_INSTANCE: Custom URL of the GitGuardian dashboard. The API URL will be inferred from it.
GITGUARDIAN_API_URL: Custom URL for the scanning API. Deprecated, use GITGUARDIAN_INSTANCE instead.
GITGUARDIAN_DONT_LOAD_ENV: If set to any value, environment variables won't be loaded from a file.
GITGUARDIAN_DOTENV_PATH: If set to a path, ggshield will attempt to load the environment from the specified file.
GITGUARDIAN_TIMEOUT: If set to a float, ggshield secret scan pre-receive will timeout after the specified value. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
GITGUARDIAN_MAX_COMMITS_FOR_HOOK: If set to an int, ggshield secret scan pre-receive and ggshield secret scan pre-push will not scan more than the specified value of commits in a single scan.
GITGUARDIAN_CRASH_LOG: If set to True, ggshield will display a full traceback when crashing.

On-premises configuration

ggshield can be configured to run on your on-premise GitGuardian instance.

First, you need to point ggshield to your instance, by either defining the instance key in your .gitguardian.yaml configuration file or by defining the GITGUARDIAN_INSTANCE environment variable.

Then, you need to authenticate against your instance, by either using the ggshield auth login --instance https://mygitguardianinstance.mycorp.local command using the --instance option or by obtaining an API key from your dashboard administrator and storing it in the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable.

Ignoring files

By default ggshield ignores certain files and directories.

This list can be found in ggshield/core/utils.py under IGNORED_DEFAULT_PATTERNS.

You can also add custom patterns to ignore by using the --exclude option or the key ignored-paths in your .gitguardian.yaml

# .gitguardian.yml
# Exclude files and paths by globbing
ignored-paths:
  - '**/README.md'
  - 'doc/*'
  - 'LICENSE'

ggshield secret scan --exclude dir/subdir/** path -r dir

Ignoring a secret

Useful for ignoring a revoked test credential or a false positive, there are three ways to ignore a secret with ggshield:

In code

⚠ this will also ignore the secret in the GitGuardian dashboard.

Secrets can be ignored in code by suffixing the line with a ggignore comment.

Examples:

def send_to_notifier() -> int:
  return send_slack_message(token="xoxb-23s2js9912ksk120wsjp") # ggignore

func main() {
  high_entropy_test := "A@@E*JN#DK@OE@K(JEN@I@#)" // ggignore
}

Through configuration

⚠ Your secret will still show up on the GitGuardian dashboard as potential incident.

You can use the ignore command to ignore the last found secrets in your scan or directly add the ignore SHA that accompanies the incident or one of the secret matches to the configuration file

⚠ A secret ignored on the GitGuardian dashboard will still show as a potential incident on ggshield.

Ignoring a detector

⚠ Your secret will still show up on the GitGuardian dashboard as potential incident.

You can ignore a detector using the CLI option -b or --banlist-detector or through the configuration:

Examples:

# .gitguardian.yaml
ignored-detectors: # default: []
  - Generic Password
  - Generic High Entropy Secret

ggshield secret scan -b "Generic High Entropy Secret" path example_file.md

Integrations

Pre-commit

The pre-commit framework

In order to use ggshield with the pre-commit framework, you need to do the following steps.

Make sure you have pre-commit installed:

$ pip install pre-commit

Create a .pre-commit-config.yaml file in your root repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/gitguardian/ggshield
    rev: v1.13.0
    hooks:
      - id: ggshield
        language_version: python3
        stages: [commit]

Then install the hook with the command:

$ pre-commit install
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit

Now you're good to go!

If you want to skip the pre-commit check, you can add -n parameter:

$ git commit -m "commit message" -n

Another way is to add SKIP=hook_id before the command:

$ SKIP=ggshield git commit -m "commit message"

The global and local pre-commit hook

To install pre-commit globally (for all current and future repos), run the following command:

$ ggshield install --mode global

It will do the following:

check if a global hook folder is defined in the global git configuration
create the ~/.git/hooks folder (if needed)
create a pre-commit file which will be executed before every commit
give executable access to this file

You can also install the hook locally on desired repositories. To do so, run:

$ ggshield install --mode local

If a pre-commit executable file already exists, it will not be overridden.

You can force override with the --force option:

$ ggshield install --mode local --force

If you already have a pre-commit executable file and you want to use ggshield, all you need to do is to add this line in the file:

$ ggshield secret scan pre-commit

If you want to try pre-commit scanning through the docker image:

$ docker run -e GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY -v $(pwd):/data --rm gitguardian/ggshield ggshield secret scan pre-commit

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable of your project or development environment.

Pre-push

In case there are more than a 50 commits in a push the hook will be skipped.

The amount of commits to scan before skipping the hook can be configured by the key max-commits-for-hook in ggshield configuration file.

Pre-push hooks are executed just before git push sends data to the remote host. It will pickup and scan the range of commits between the local ref and the origin ref.

If incidents are detected in this range the push will be cancelled.

With the pre-commit framework

In order to use ggshield with the pre-commit framework, you need to do the following steps.

Make sure you have pre-commit installed:

$ pip install pre-commit

Create a .pre-commit-config.yaml file in your root repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/gitguardian/ggshield
    rev: main
    hooks:
      - id: ggshield-push
        language_version: python3
        stages: [push]

Then install the hook with the command:

$ pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-push

With the install command

To install the pre-push hook globally (for all current and future repos), you just need to execute the following command:

$ ggshield install --mode global -t pre-push

It will do the following:

check if a global hook folder is defined in the global git configuration
create the ~/.git/hooks folder (if needed)
create a pre-push file which will be executed before every commit
give executable access to this file

You can also install the hook locally on desired repositories. You just need to go in the repository and execute:

$ ggshield install --mode local -t "pre-push"

If a pre-commit executable file already exists, it will not be overridden.

You can force override with the --force option:

$ ggshield install --mode local --force  -t "pre-push"

Or you can append to the existing pre-push script with the --append option:

$ ggshield install --mode local --force  -t "pre-push"

Now you're good to go!

Pre-receive

A pre-receive hook allows you to reject commits from being pushed to a git repository if they do not validate every check. Refer to our learning center for more information.

You can find ggshield's pre-receive hook samples in the doc/pre-receive.sample and doc/pre-receive-docker.sample.

ggshield's pre-receive hook can be skipped if the developer passes the option breakglass to the git push.

For this setting to work the remote must have push options enabled. (git config receive.advertisePushOptions true).

Examples:

$ git push -o breakglass
$ git push --push-option=breakglass

Install ggshield git pre-receive hook

This pre-receive hook requires the host machine to have python>=3.8 and pip installed
Install ggshield from pip: pip install ggshield
Copy pre-receive.sample to .git/hooks/pre-receive or to your provider's git hook directory:
- GitHub Enterprise
- GitLab
Do not forget to chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-receive
Either set an environment variable machine wide GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY or set it in the .git/hooks/pre-receive as instructed in the sample file.

How do I add ignored matches and use a custom configuration in this pre-receive hook?

Create a gitguardian.yaml somewhere in the system. An example configuration file is available here

Replace in the pre-receive hook

ggshield secret scan pre-receive

with:

ggshield -c <INSERT path to gitguardian.yaml> scan pre-receive

Install ggshield git pre-receive hook with docker

For the pre-receive hook to work, the directory where the repositories are stored must also be mounted on the container.

This pre-receive hook requires the host machine to have docker installed.
Copy pre-receive-docker.sample to .git/hooks/pre-receive
Do not forget to chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-receive
Either set an environment variable machine wide GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY or set it in the .git/hooks/pre-receive as instructed in the sample file.

Docker

The ggshield docker scanning tool (ggshield secret scan docker) is used to scan local docker images for secrets present in the image's creation process (dockerfile and build arguments) and in the image's layers' filesystem.

If the image is not available locally on the user's machine, ggshield will attempt to pull the image using docker pull <IMAGE_NAME>.

GitLab

You may be interested in using GitGuardian's GitLab integration to ensure full coverage of your GitLab projects as well as full git history scans and reporting.

Configuring GitLab pipelines to use ggshield can be done by adding a step to your project's pipeline:

stages:
  - scanning

🦉 gitguardian scan:
  image: gitguardian/ggshield:latest
  stage: scanning
  script: ggshield secret scan ci
  variables:
    GIT_STRATEGY: clone
    GIT_DEPTH: 0

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable in your project settings.

For ggshield to scan every commit in a merge request pipeline the CI must clone the full repository instead of just fetching the branch. The following snippet ensures this behavior.

variables:
GIT_STRATEGY: clone
GIT_DEPTH: 0

GitHub

You may be interested in using GitGuardian's GitHub integration to ensure full coverage of your GitHub projects as well as full git history scans and reporting.

ggshield support for GitHub comes in the form of GitHub actions.

The actions for this repository are found in the actions directory.

Configuring a GitHub workflow to use ggshield can be done by adding a step to your project's workflow:

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY secret in your project settings.

BitBucket

⚠ BitBucket pipelines do not support commit ranges therefore only your latest commit in a pushed group or in a new branch will be scanned.

Configuring a BitBucket pipeline to use ggshield can be done by adding a step to your project's workflow:

pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
        image: gitguardian/ggshield:latest
        services:
          - docker
        script:
          - ggshield secret scan ci

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable in your project settings.

Circle CI

Circle CI is supported in ggshield through ggshield-orb.

To add ggshield to your pipelines, configure your .circleci/config.yml to add the ggshield orb:

orbs:
  ggshield: gitguardian/ggshield

workflows:
  main:
    jobs:
      - ggshield/scan:
          name: ggshield-scan # best practice is to name each orb job
          base_revision: << pipeline.git.base_revision >>
          revision: <<pipeline.git.revision>>

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable in your project settings.

Travis CI

To add ggshield to your pipelines, configure your .travis.yml to add a ggshield secret scanning job:

jobs:
  include:
    - name: GitGuardian Scan
      language: python
      python: 3.8
      install:
        - pip install ggshield
      script:
        - ggshield secret scan ci

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable in your project settings.

Defining encrypted variables in .travis.yml

Jenkins

To add ggshield to your pipelines, configure your Jenkinsfile to add a ggshield stage:

pipeline {
    agent none
    stages {
        stage('GitGuardian Scan') {
            agent {
                docker { image 'gitguardian/ggshield:latest' }
            }
            environment {
                GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY = credentials('gitguardian-api-key')
            }
            steps {
                sh 'ggshield secret scan ci'
            }
        }
    }
}

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the gitguardian-api-key credential in your project settings.

Drone

To add ggshield to your pipelines, configure your .drone.yml to add a ggshield stage:

kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: default

steps:
- name: ggshield
  image: gitguardian/ggshield:latest
  commands:
  - ggshield secret scan ci

Drone CI integration handles only pull-request or merge-request events, push events are not handled. Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY environment variable for your Drone CI workers.

Azure Pipelines

⚠ Azure Pipelines does not support commit ranges outside of GitHub Pull Requests, therefore on push events in a regular branch only your latest commit will be scanned. This limitation doesn't apply to GitHub Pull Requests where all the commits in the pull request will be scanned.

To add ggshield to your pipelines, configure your azure-pipelines.yml to add a ggshield secret scanning job:

jobs:
  - job: GitGuardianShield
    pool:
      vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
    container:
      image: gitguardian/ggshield:latest
      options: -u 0
    steps:
      - script: ggshield secret scan ci
        env:
          GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY: $(gitguardianApiKey)

Do not forget to add your GitGuardian API Key to the gitguardianApiKey secret variable in your pipeline settings.

Output

If no secrets or policy breaks have been found, the exit code will be 0:

$ ggshield secret scan pre-commit

If a secret or other issue is found in your staged code or in your CI, you will have an alert giving you the type of policy break, the filename where the policy break has been found and a patch giving you the position of the policy break in the file:

$ ggshield secret scan pre-commit

🛡️  ⚔️  🛡️  2 policy breaks have been found in file production.rb

11 | config.paperclip_defaults = {
12 |     :s3_credentials => {
13 |     :bucket => "XXX",
14 |     :access_key_id => "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                            |_____AWS Keys_____|

15 |     :secret_access_key => "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
