my idea is
1 have a new thing in tools menu called text inspector
2 in this new tool you can copy paste text
3 you run the tool
4 the tools checks the text for matches of password or usernames from my database
5 if it finds any matches it replaces that in the text with something like "removed"
why? i think many have f up by posting up logs or configs files with usernames password or api keys in github or any backup system
while this is not perfect if i add API keys like passwords make config backup safer
this also can be used for any type of logs, where u can put IP's in the username and get them removed
This is far outside our scope and likely not useful at the scale and integration that would be required to make it useful. Invest in a good secrets detector and hook it up to your git hooks.
