Problem Solved
What problem does omerta solve?
Python developers and engineering teams need to prevent credentials and configuration secrets from entering Git repositories. Conventional pattern scanners can miss keys without recognizable formats, while test recordings and encoded strings can hide real secrets. omerta compares actual .env values against repository contents and blocks commits when matches appear, without printing the secrets. For example, a developer commits an SMS gateway test recording containing a URL-encoded API key, and omerta identifies the leak before the commit succeeds.
