## What it is
A collection of Python, PHP, and Bash scripts that perform targeted searches on GitHub via its search API to find secrets, keys, private repos, companies, and employees. It is aimed at bug bounty hunters and penetration testers doing OSINT reconnaissance.

## Use cases
- find leaked api keys and tokens on github
- search github for secrets during bug bounty recon
- enumerate a company's employees and repos on github
- scan git commit history for sensitive strings
- github dorking for exposed credentials

## When to choose
- you need scriptable GitHub search automation with token rotation
- you do OSINT or bug bounty recon on organizations
- you want to scan local repo histories for leaked secrets

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or continuous secret-scanning platform
- you want real-time monitoring rather than one-off searches
- you lack GitHub API tokens, since most tools require them

## Facets

- domain: security, osint, developer-tools, penetration-testing, crawlers
