Before After

How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

pry(main)> Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update!(pre_receive_secret_detection_enabled: true) # to ensure feature is enabled instance-wide
pry(main)> project = Project.find(PROJECT_ID)
pry(main)> Feature.enable(:pre_receive_secret_detection_push_check, project)

(or go in to ee/lib/gitlab/checks/secrets_check.rb and comment out lines 43, 45, 46, 48)

  1. Ensure your instance has an Ultimate license so that audit events are available.
  2. In your test project, make a change and commit it, including the bypass flag [skip secret detection] in the commit message
  3. Navigate to Secure > Audit events
  4. Verify that the audit event appears
