Difference between Git Secrets and GitLeaks

[Caique Robert de Morais]

Hi,

I'm evaluating a pipeline with several security steps. I'm looking at hard-coded secret scanning tools; Atlassian provides a secret scanner, but its functionality seems similar to GitLeaks. I'd like to know if the provided secret scanner is a separate tool or if it's actually based on the official GitLeaks?

Git Leaks: https://gitleaks.io/

Hey @Caique Robert de Morais 

Welcome to the community!

In the pipe readme, we mention that this pipe uses Gitleaks, which is the same tool used on https://gitleaks.io/.
