You were so close! The right solution is of course training an AI model that detects credentials and rejects commits that contain them!
I need one of those reminder bots, so I can share a link to an inevitable startup, six months from now, based on your humorous comment.
You joke, but GitHub advanced security does this and more. On top of the AI component, they check the hash of all things that look like an api key and then also check them against their integrated vendors to see if they’re non-expired. I don’t know how well it works, but they claim like a .1% false positive rate or something like that.
