credentialdiggerScan

Scan a repository on GitHub with Credential Digger

Description

This step allows you to scan a repository on Github using Credential Digger.

It can for example be used for DevSecOps scenarios to verify the source code does not contain hard-coded credentials before being merged or released for production. It supports several scan flavors, i.e., full scans of a repo, scan of a snapshot, or scan of a pull request.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.
