Can not install gitleaks for selfhosted runner (Destination file path /tmp/gitleaks.tmp already exists)

[sydseter]

I understand this is meant to be used with docker, but perhaps it would be an idea to try to remove gitleaks.tmp from tmp before or after download and extraction?

For our self-hosted runner we fixed this by removing /tmp/gitleaks.tmp before running gitleaks-action

e.g:

  - name: Remove gitleaks from tmp if it exist
    run: rm -f /tmp/gitleaks.tmp || echo "gitleaks.tmp has already been removed."
