## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Squealer is a Go command-line secret scanner for Git repositories and filesystems, aimed at finding leaked credentials in current files and commit history.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in 2021. The official README presents Squealer as a local or CI-oriented scanner with built-in regular-expression checks for common credential types and support for custom rule configuration.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The README documents installation by shell script, Docker images for multiple CPU architectures, use as a Go library, and releases distributed from GitHub. The input facts identify a Homebrew formula, putting it in the package-manager lane alongside other lightweight security CLIs.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Squealer can scan a remote Git repository, a local repository, or a plain directory with --no-git. It can output default, JSON, or SARIF-like formats, redact findings, scan all commits, and accept a user-supplied config file with rules, ignored paths, ignored extensions, and exceptions.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Package nerds care because Squealer is the kind of small security binary that can be dropped into local hooks, CI jobs, and package-manager installs without adopting a larger platform.
