+description: >-
+  Use when working with ggshield or GitGuardian secret detection.
+  Triggers: "ggshield", "scan for secrets", "secret detection", "GitGuardian"
+version: 1.0.0
+tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep
+---
+
+# ggshield — GitGuardian Secret Detection CLI
+
+ggshield is the CLI for GitGuardian's secret detection engine. It scans code, files, and git history for leaked credentials and secrets.
+
+## Authentication
+
+Before scanning, authenticate with GitGuardian:
+
+```bash
+ggshield auth login
+```
+
+This opens a browser for OAuth login. Use `--method token` for headless environments:
+
+```bash
+ggshield auth login --method token
+```
+
+Check authentication status:
+
+```bash
+ggshield api-status
+```
+
+## Secret Scanning
+
+### Scan a directory or file
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan path <path>
+```
+
+### Scan git diff (staged changes)
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan pre-commit
+```
+
+### Scan a git range
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan commit-range HEAD~5..HEAD
+```
+
+### Scan a specific commit
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan commit <sha>
+```
+
+### Scan a Docker image
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan docker <image>
+```
+
+## Understanding Output
+
+When secrets are found, ggshield reports:
+
+- **Detector name**: the type of secret (e.g., `github_token`, `aws_access_key`)
+- **Severity**: `critical`, `high`, `medium`, `low`, `info`
+- **File and line**: location of the secret
+- **Match**: the matched value (partially redacted)
+
+Exit codes:
+
+- `0`: no secrets found (or `--exit-zero` is set)
+- `1`: secrets found
+- `128`: unexpected error
+
+## Remediation
+
+### Ignore a detected secret
+
+To mark a secret as a known false positive:
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret ignore --last-found
+```
+
+Or add `# ggignore` on the same line as the secret in the source file.
+
+### Rotate credentials
+
+When a real secret is found:
+
+1. Revoke the credential in the relevant service immediately
+2. Generate a new credential
+3. Update references in the codebase
+4. Consider using a secrets manager (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)
+
+## Git Hooks
+
+### Install as a pre-commit hook (local)
+
+```bash
+ggshield install --mode local
+```
+
+### Install as a pre-push hook
+
+```bash
+ggshield install --mode local --hook-type pre-push
+```
+
+### Install globally (all repos)
+
+```bash
+ggshield install --mode global
+```
+
+## Common Flags
+
+| Flag                         | Description                                                       |
+| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--exit-zero`                | Always return exit code 0 (useful in CI to not block on findings) |
+| `--output <file>`            | Write output to a file                                            |
+| `--json`                     | Output results as JSON                                            |
+| `--minimum-severity <level>` | Only report secrets at or above this severity                     |
+| `--ignore-known-secrets`     | Skip secrets already present in the GitGuardian dashboard         |
+
+## Configuration
+
+ggshield reads from `.gitguardian.yaml` in the repo root or `~/.gitguardian.yaml` globally.
+
+Example `.gitguardian.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+exit-zero: false
+minimum-severity: medium
+ignore-paths:
+  - tests/fixtures/
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Check staged changes before commit
+
+```bash
+git add <files>
+ggshield secret scan pre-commit
+```
+
+### Scan entire repository history
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan repo .
+```
+
+### CI integration (non-blocking)
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan ci --exit-zero
+```
+
+### View scan results as JSON
+
+```bash
+ggshield secret scan path . --json
+```
