## Project history and usage

mantra is a Go command-line security tool for finding API-key leaks in JavaScript files and HTML pages.

### Project history

The public repository was created in January 2023. Its README describes a tool built in Go whose main objective is to inspect web page source and script files for strings that are identical or similar to API keys.

### Adoption history

The project is distributed as a Go install target, source build, and Homebrew formula. Its GitHub topics and README position it for bug bounty, pentest, JavaScript, leaked-secret, and web security workflows.

### How it is used

Users install with `go install github.com/Brosck/mantra@latest` or build from source, then run the `mantra` CLI against pages or JavaScript files to identify possible exposed API keys.

### Why package nerds care

mantra is part of the small, fast Go CLI ecosystem around web reconnaissance and secret scanning, where package-manager availability matters because tools are often chained in scripts.
