+# Secret Sentinel
+
+A local secret scanner for Git repositories. It finds hardcoded credentials
+in files, staged changes, and commit history before they reach a remote.
+
+- Runs offline with no runtime dependencies
+- Works as a pre-commit hook, a pre-push hook, or a GitHub Action
+- Never prints detected values; reports are always redacted
+- Requires Python 3.10 or later

+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pipx install git-secret-sentinel
+```
+
+Or with pip:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install git-secret-sentinel
+```
+
+The package is named `git-secret-sentinel`; the command it installs is
+`secret-sentinel`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+Run these from the root of your repository.
+
+```bash
+secret-sentinel --setup
+secret-sentinel .
+secret-sentinel --doctor
+```
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `--setup` | Guided setup for hooks, baseline, and CI |
+| `.` | Scans the working tree |
+| `--doctor` | Checks the repository, config, and hooks |
+
+## Scan modes
+
+```bash
+secret-sentinel .
+secret-sentinel src/ config.yaml
+secret-sentinel --staged
+secret-sentinel --diff origin/main
+secret-sentinel --commit-range origin/main HEAD
+secret-sentinel --git-history
+```
+
+| Mode | Scans |
+|---|---|
+| paths | Files and folders on disk |
+| `--staged` | The Git index (default when no paths are given) |
+| `--diff BASE` | Lines added since `BASE` |
+| `--commit-range BASE HEAD` | Every commit in the range, including secrets added and later removed |
+| `--git-history` | All commits reachable from `HEAD` (add `--all-refs` for all branches) |
+
+### Output
+
+```bash
+secret-sentinel . --format json
+secret-sentinel . --format sarif --output results.sarif
+secret-sentinel . --coverage
+```
+
+- `--format` accepts `text` (default), `json`, or `sarif`.
+- `--coverage` lists scanned and skipped file counts for path scans.
+
+### Exit codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `0` | No findings at or above the threshold |
+| `1` | Findings at or above the threshold, or a scan error |
+| `2` | Invalid arguments or configuration |
+
+## Git hooks
+
+```bash
+secret-sentinel --install-hook
+secret-sentinel --install-pre-push-hook
+```
+
+- The pre-commit hook scans staged changes.
+- The pre-push hook scans commits that are not yet on the remote.
+- Remove them with `--uninstall-hook` and `--uninstall-pre-push-hook`.
+- Existing hooks that Secret Sentinel did not create are never replaced.
+
+### pre-commit framework
+
+```yaml
+repos:
+  - repo: https://github.com/tajamul-wani/secret-sentinel
+    rev: v0.2.0
+    hooks:
+      - id: secret-sentinel
+```
+
+## CI
+
+Add the GitHub Action to a workflow:
+
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+  pull_request:
+
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+
+jobs:
+  secrets:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v5
+      - uses: tajamul-wani/secret-sentinel@v0.2.0
+```
+
+Optional inputs:
+
+| Input | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `fail-on` | `LOW` | Minimum severity that fails the job |
+| `sarif` | `false` | Send results to code scanning (needs `security-events: write`) |
+
+What the action scans:
+
+| Event | Scan |
+|---|---|
+| Pull request | All commits between the base branch and `HEAD` |
+| Push | The pushed commits |
+| New branch or force push | The working tree |
+
+Notes:
+
+- Shallow checkouts are handled automatically.
+- The action installs Python 3.12, which later steps in the job will use.
+- Make the scan a required status check. Local hooks can be skipped with
+  `--no-verify`; CI cannot.
+- The baseline key is only passed to trusted pushes on `main`;
+  pull-request scans run without it.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Create `.secret-sentinel.ini` in the repository root:
+
+```ini
+[secret-sentinel]
+fail_on = HIGH
+ignore_paths = tests/fixtures/*, docs/*.md
+
+[custom_rules]
+Internal Token = CRITICAL | \bcorp_[A-Za-z0-9]{32}\b
+```
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `fail_on` | `LOW`, `MEDIUM`, `HIGH`, or `CRITICAL`. Default `LOW`. Override with `--fail-on`. |
+| `ignore_paths` | Comma-separated globs, relative to the repository root |
+| `custom_rules` | One rule per line: `NAME = SEVERITY \| REGEX` |
+
+You can also list ignore globs in `.secretignore`, one per line.
+
+Ignored by default:
+
+- `.git`, `node_modules`, `venv`, `.venv`, and `__pycache__` at any depth
+- `env/` and `.env/` at the repository root
+- Minified bundles and source maps: `*.min.js`, `*.min.css`, `*.map`
+
+Lockfiles are still scanned because registry URLs can contain tokens.
+
+## Suppressing findings
+
+Add a comment on the same line:
+
+```python
+key = "..."  # secret-sentinel: ignore reason: fixture
+```
+
+Or on the line before:
+
+```python
+# secret-sentinel: disable-next-line reason: fixture
+key = "..."
+```
+
+- Add `expires: YYYY-MM-DD` to make a suppression temporary.
+- `#`, `//`, and `/* */` comments are supported.
+- Run `secret-sentinel --audit-suppressions` to find suppressions that are
+  missing a reason, expired, or no longer needed.
+
+## Baseline
+
+Use a baseline to accept existing findings and fail only on new ones.
+
+```bash
+secret-sentinel --update-baseline .
+secret-sentinel --baseline .
+```
+
+- Fingerprints are stored in `.secret-sentinel/baseline.json`. Secret
+  values are never stored.
+- Baseline commands need a shared key of at least 32 bytes in
+  `SECRET_SENTINEL_BASELINE_KEY`. Store it as a CI secret and never
+  commit it.
+- Renaming a file makes its findings appear as new.
+
+Generate a key:
+
+```bash
+python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"
+```
+
+## Detection
+
+| Severity | Detects |
+|---|---|
+| Critical | Cloud and SaaS keys: AWS, Google, Azure Storage, Stripe, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Twilio, SendGrid, Shopify, DigitalOcean, Databricks, OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, PyPI, npm |
+| Critical | Private keys, database URLs with passwords, `.netrc`, `.pgpass`, Docker registry auth |
+| High | JWTs, Slack webhooks, Telegram bot tokens, Mailchimp keys |
+| High | Generic `key`, `token`, `secret`, and `password` assignments |
+| Medium | AWS access key IDs and high-entropy values in secret fields |
+
+How scanning works:
+
+- Base64 values in secret fields are decoded and checked again.
+- Placeholders such as `${VAR}`, `<value>`, and `your_key_here` are skipped.
+- Binary files are skipped. UTF-8 and Latin-1 text files are scanned.
+- Files larger than 5 MB are skipped and counted in `--coverage`.
+
+## AI validation
+
+AI validation is optional and disabled by default. When enabled, a model can
+discard generic findings that look like test data. Provider-specific matches,
+such as a GitHub token, are always kept.
+
+```ini
+[secret-sentinel]
+ai_enabled = true
+```
+
+| Backend | Setup |
+|---|---|
+| Ollama (local) | Install Ollama. Optional: `OLLAMA_MODEL`, `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT` |
+| Gemini (cloud) | Also set `ai_cloud_enabled = true` and `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
+
+- Detected values are redacted before any context is sent.
+- If the model is unavailable or unclear, the finding is kept.
+- Use `--no-ai` to skip validation for a single run.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
+python -m unittest discover -s tests
+python tests/run_coverage.py
+```
+
+The coverage check fails below 80%.
