## What it is
GShark is a self-hosted sensitive information detection and management platform that scans repositories exposed by providers like GitHub, GitLab, Sourcegraph, and Postman. It pairs a Go/Gin backend with a Vue 3 web interface for rule management, whitelisting, and result triage.

## Use cases
- scan github for leaked secrets and credentials
- detect sensitive information exposed in gitlab repositories
- monitor postman workspaces for leaked api keys
- manage custom scanning rules with whitelist and blacklist filtering
- enumerate subdomains of a target organization
- self-host a secret leak detection platform with docker

## When to choose
- you need continuous scanning of remote code hosting platforms for leaked secrets
- you want a web UI with access control to triage leak findings
- you need multi-provider coverage including GitHub, GitLab, Sourcegraph, and Postman

## When to avoid
- you only need to scan local source trees rather than remote repositories
- you want a lightweight one-shot CLI scanner without a server or database
- you need commercial-grade secret detection with verification and revocation workflows
