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

uses: carhartl/talisman-secrets-scan-action@v1

Caveat

When using this along with the actions/checkout@v2 step, you'll need to configure it to fetch the entire history:

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

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