Serena Fang requested to merge add-gitlab-secret-detection-gem into master

What does this MR do and why?

#426823 (closed)

&11612 (closed)

To perform regex matching on git blobs that may include secrets, we plan to create a small Ruby library/gem that will be included as a dependency in GitLab main codebase (gitlab-org/gitlab). This dependency will accept one or more git blobs, match them against a defined ruleset of regular expressions (based on gitleaks.toml used by secrets analyzer), and return scan results.
