gitrob (legacy)

gitrob analyze <org>

Analyze the organization's repositories with Gitrob, detecting exposed sensitive files and secrets (legacy reference tool).

Run it when you want the analysis of the organization's repos with the classic tool: gitrob analyzes the organization's repos (public and accessible ones) and reports findings — sensitive files (keys, configs, .env), secrets — with the repo and file. It is the legacy tool for detecting exposed repos (by Micah Gates): the historical reference for analyzing the org's repo surface. In DevSecOps, Gitrob was the precursor to organization-wide secret scanning (today covered by gitleaks/trufflehog and GitHub's tools): the analysis of the entire org.

Don't use it as a current tool: Gitrob is legacy (the project is unmaintained) — the functionality is covered by current tools (gitleaks, trufflehog) and by the GitHub platform (code scanning, secret scanning). For current org analysis, use maintained tools; Gitrob is the historical reference (and the catalog entry documents it). And watch out: org analysis requires GitHub tokens with repo scope — permissions must be managed carefully. Findings must be verified (sensitive files from accessible private repos).
