Guide for Installation and Running

[Molive-cell]

Dear Team, could you please provide a step by step guidelines of installing and running this application in Kali linux.

[MastinGood]

and also in windows when i try to run this echo "\"tillsongalloway.com\"" | git-hound it always says 'git-hound' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

YouTube video coming this weekend, but in the meantime:

1. Download latest version of GitHound for Linux systems at https://github.com/tillson/git-hound/releases (with wget [url] or from the web browser).
2. Decompress the download with tar -xzf [filename]. You may have to navigate to the Downloads folder with cd first.
3. cd into the now decompressed folder, and run ./git-hound to test. You may need to create a config.yml file with the proper fields (see the README).

Let me know if you have any questions

[amanchawla97]

even after putting config.yml it shows config.yml not found

[tillson]

@amanchawla97 Could you send a pic of ls in the directory that you're running githound from?

[amanchawla97]

Yes Sure please find the attached screenshot

[tillson]

Can you show me the error when you try to run githound as well?

[amanchawla97]

[JeremyCBrooks]

@amanchawla97 , how did you install git-hound? Your first screenshot shows the source code but no binary. Try putting your config.yml in ~/.githound.

[tillson]

For the config.yml issue, let's move discussion over to https://github.com/tillson/git-hound/issues/32.

Dear team： I installed the git-hound with 'git clone https://github.com/tillson/git-hound', and it always says 'git-hound' is not recognized as an internal or external command, which is same with @amanchawla97 . could you please provide a step by step guidelines? Did I need to install golang first?

[tillson]

"git-hound" will only be recognized as a command if you add the binary to your $PATH variable. If it's not in your $PATH, you should run "./git-hound" while in the same directory as the binary.

[infosecjunky]

Instead of this I have tried it like echo "joor.com" | ./git-hound if you have updated the user and password in the config.yml it will work.

[ashirali110]

Is it possible to integrate git-hound with Jenkins pipeline?

[infosecjunky]

Is it possible to integrate git-hound with Jenkins pipeline?

Never tried it

[infosecjunky]

Hello Everyone, I am not able to install git-hound can you please guide me and also facing this issue. Please resolve it as soon as possible its a urgent task.

did you check config.yml file?

[tillson]

@ashirali110

Try making a file called config.yml with the contents of this file: https://github.com/tillson/git-hound/blob/master/config.example.yml.

As for Jenkins, we don't have any integrations out of the box (although it is possible). I also am curious as to what use case you have for putting this in a Jenkins pipeline... I assume you're scanning new commits for secrets, in which case you may want to try https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog which is better at scanning single repositories/users/orgs for secrets (Githound is better for scanning all of GitHub when you don't have any guarantees about users or orgs) and has a Jenkins guide at https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog

Hi @infosecjunky and @tillson my config.yml is same as the repo you have send I want to ask that do I have to change the content in the config.yml file with my username and password?

[ashirali110]

My config.yml is present there in git-hound directory now what are the next steps can you please explain?

[infosecjunky]

Hi @infosecjunky and @tillson my config.yml is same as the repo you have send I want to ask that do I have to change the content in the config.yml file with my username and password?

Yes you need to put your username and password for it to work.

[ashirali110]

@infosecjunky I have checked with that also but it did not work

[ashirali110]

If you have time can we have a call on teams or some other platform because I am not able to understand it how to do configurations.
