SecureGitX

Automate Git security & Email safety for modern developers

SecureGitx prevents you from commiting secrets, helps protect your repo email and manages .gitignore files all with a single command. No complex setup, no dependencies, just run it.

Why SecureGitX?

The Problem:

• Developers accidentally commit API keys, passwords, and tokens
• Personal emails leak into public repos
• Forgetting .gitignore files exposes sensitive data
• Existing tools are slow, complex, or outdated

The Solution: SecureGitX prevents you from committing secrets, helps protect your repository email, and manages .gitignore files—all with a single command. No complex setup, no dependencies; just run it.

Two Modes, One Tool

SecureGitX adapts to your workflow:

Mode 1: Manual (Explicit Control)

# You control when to run security checks 
git add src/
./securegitx.sh "feat: add feature"

Best for:

• Learning SecureGitx
• One-off commits
• When you want explicit control

---

Mode 2: AUtomatic (Set & Forget)

# One-time setup
./securegitx.sh --install

# Now just use normal git 
git add src/
git commit -m "feat: add feature"  # SecureGitX runs automatically!

Best for:

• Daily Development
• Team projects
• When you might forget

Scenario	Recommended Mode	Why
Trying SecureGitX	Manual	No commitment needed
Personal projects	Your choice	Both work great
Team projects	Automatic	Everyone stays protected
CI/CD pipelines	Manual	More control

Pro tip: Start with Manual, switch to Automatic when you're comfortable!

Switching Modes

# Enable automatic mode 
./securegitx.sh --uninstall

# Disable automatic mode 
./securegitx.sh --uninstall

# Manual mode always works (even with hook installed)
./securegitx.sh "urgent commit"
