Stop Leaking Secrets: How to Catch Security Flaws Before Your Pull Request

Finding security vulnerabilities and exposed API keys during pull request reviews or CI/CD pipelines causes unnecessary rework and security risks. This guide explains how to implement "Shift-Left Security" by running static application security testing (DevSkim) alongside dedicated secret scanning (Gitleaks) directly on your local workstation using Git pre-commit hooks. By catching insecure coding patterns and credentials the moment you commit, you eliminate awkward PR reviews and prevent leaks before they ever enter Git history.
