Feature request: config option to include binary files in scans #127

Open ddelabru opened 5 years ago

It would be helpful for some users to have an option to include binary files in scans -- for example, to match a domain pattern or username in a Kerberos keytab. Currently, such files are always excluded from git-secrets scans through an option passed to git grep.

I agree this would be a useful feature.
