🛠 Guidelines to remediate hardcoded secrets
1. Understand the implications of revoking this secret by investigating where it is used in your code.
2. Replace and store your secret safely. [Learn here](https://blog.gitguardian.com/secrets-api-management?utm_source=product&utm_medium=GitHub_checks&utm_campaign=check_run_comment) the best practices.
3. Revoke and [rotate this secret](https://docs.gitguardian.com/secrets-detection/detectors/specifics/mongo_uri#revoke-the-secret?utm_source=product&utm_medium=GitHub_checks&utm_campaign=check_run_comment).
4. If possible, [rewrite git history](https://blog.gitguardian.com/rewriting-git-history-cheatsheet?utm_source=product&utm_medium=GitHub_checks&utm_campaign=check_run_comment). Rewriting git history is not a trivial act. You might completely break other contributing developers' workflow and you risk accidentally deleting legitimate data.
To avoid such incidents in the future consider
- following these [best practices](https://blog.gitguardian.com/secrets-api-management/?utm_source=product&utm_medium=GitHub_checks&utm_campaign=check_run_comment) for managing and storing secrets including API keys and other credentials
- install [secret detection on pre-commit](https://docs.gitguardian.com/internal-repositories-monitoring/integrations/git_hooks/pre_commit?utm_source=product&utm_medium=GitHub_checks&utm_campaign=check_run_comment) to catch secret before it leaves your machine and ease remediation.
