About the project

Trufflehog is secret scanner that looks for credentials committed to repositories. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How releases reach a machine

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

What to confirm beforehand

It is worth checking which platforms the current release targets. Support windows differ, and the newest version is not always the one that fits an older machine.

Once it is in place

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.
