Creating git-hooks for pre-commit using ggshield-CodePudding

I have a android project and want to install a pre-commit.

I was following this example: https://docs.gitguardian.com/internal-repositories-monitoring/integrations/git_hooks/pre_commit

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/gitguardian/ggshield
    rev: main
    hooks:
      - id: ggshield
        language_version: python3
        stages: [commit]

I have also done the following:

pre-commit autoupdate
Updating https://github.com/gitguardian/ggshield ... already up to date.

However, when I try and make a commit I get the following error messages:

git commit -am"Updated pre-commit file"
GitGuardian Shield (pre-commit)..........................................Failed
- hook id: ggshield
- exit code: 1

CodePudding user response：

you must set up a gitguardian api key to use their service (it isn't a freely available public service). the git hook and cli are a thin wrapper around the GitGuardian api
