Context
In the GitGuardian vscode extension, we want to be able to avoid scanning files that are in the .gitignore.
The secret scan path command has an
use-gitignoreoption that could do this, however it currently only applies to directories scanned recursively and not single files.This MR proposes to also apply it to single files, which would allow the use of this argument in the vscode extension to avoid scanning gitignored files. This would also match the behavior of ignored paths in the
.gitguardian.yamlconfig, for which an error is raised if an ignored directory is passed to the secret scan path command.Validation
.gitignoreggshield secret scan path --use-gitignore <your_file>No file should be scanned.
