Configuration

# Title for the gitleaks configuration file.title ="Gitleaks title"# Extend the base (this) configuration. When you extend a configuration# the base rules take precendence over the extended rules. I.e, if there are# duplicate rules in both the base configuration and the extended configuration# the base rules will override the extended rules.# Another thing to know with extending configurations is you can chain together# multiple configuration files to a depth of 2. Allowlist arrays are appended# and can contain duplicates.# useDefault and path can NOT be used at the same time.
