Demo

Installation

Several options:

1. Go

go install github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog2.git@latest

2. Release binaries

3. Docker

Note: Apple M1 hardware users should run with docker run --platform linux/arm64 for better performance.

Most users

docker run -it -v "$PWD:/pwd" ghcr.io/trufflesecurity/trufflehog2:latest github --repo https://github.com/trufflesecurity/test_keys --debug 

Apple M1 users

The linux/arm64 image is better to run on the M1 than the amd64 image. Even better is running the native darwin binary avilable, but there is not container image for that.

docker run --platform linux/arm64 -it -v "$PWD:/pwd" ghcr.io/trufflesecurity/trufflehog2:latest github --repo https://github.com/trufflesecurity/test_keys 

4. Pip (help wanted)

It's possible to distribute binaries in pip wheels.

Here is an example of a project that does it.

Help with setting up this packaging would be appreciated!

5. Brew (help wanted)

We'd love to distribute via brew and could use your help.
