GitGuardian Playbook: ggshield in Hooks and CI, Config as Code, the Incident API and Running Secret Remediation

A hands-on GitGuardian guide checked against ggshield 1.56.1 source and the public API spec: layer hooks, CI and pre-receive checks, know the exit codes and coverage gaps, write a reviewed .gitguardian.yaml, pull and triage incidents by validity, and run revocation-first remediation.

Premium playbookFacts checked Free overview: GitGuardian explained
WHAT YOU WILL DO
  • Where ggshield runs, and the gap each layer leaves for the next one
  • Exit codes and the fail-on-server-error switch, read from ggshield's source
  • A reviewed .gitguardian.yaml, and why ignores are not shared with the dashboard
  • CI recipes for GitHub Actions pinned to a commit, GitLab and pre-receive hooks
  • Pull incidents with cursor pagination and build a rotation queue by validity
  • Rate limits and the workspace-wide quota that one runaway job can exhaust
  • A revocation-first runbook and an incident-style interview drill
