Detect secrets with Talisman action

This action uses Talisman to scan the incoming (pushed) range of commits for accidentally added secrets and sensitive information. It mimics a pre-push hook for this, thus it works nicely with a local git hook in tandem, that is as a fallback, last line of defense.

Example usage

steps:
  - name: Detect secrets with Talisman in incoming commits
    uses: carhartl/talisman-secrets-scan-action@v1.4.0

Caveat

When using this along with the actions/checkout@v2 step you'll need to configure it to avoid a too shallow clone:

- uses: actions/checkout@v2
  with:
    fetch-depth: 0

Otherwise you may run into Talisman erroring out while it's trying to execute git with an invalid revision range:
