Secrets Sentry v1.0.0

First public release of Secrets Sentry - a comprehensive security tool for detecting, migrating, and preventing hardcoded secrets from being leaked to GitHub.

For the Vibecoders Community

This project was built with the hope that vibecoders everywhere will use it to ensure they're not accidentally leaking secrets in their code. Whether you're a solo developer, part of a team, or contributing to open source - protecting your API keys and credentials is essential.

We encourage all vibecoders to:

  • Run Secrets Sentry before pushing code to GitHub
  • Install the pre-commit hook for automatic protection
  • Share this tool with your coding community
  • Help keep the vibecoding ecosystem secure

Let's build together, securely!
