Examples

gitleaks

Run audit on current working directory if .git is present

gitleaks --local $HOME/audits/some/repo

Run audit on repo located in HOME/audits/some/repo if .git is present

gitleaks https://github.com/some/repo

Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to

gitleaks --clone-path=$HOME/Desktop/audits https://github.com/some/repo

Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to $HOME/Desktop/audits

gitleaks --temp https://github.com/some/repo

Run audit on github.com/some/repo.git and clone repo to $TMPDIR (this will remove repos after audit is complete)

gitleaks --temp -u https://github.com/some-user

Run audit on all of some-user's repos. Again, --temp flag will clone all repos into $TMPDIR after be removed after audit

If you find a valid leak in a repo

Please read the Github article on removing sensitive data from a repository to remove the sensitive information from your history.
