What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Whenever I published any code that contains sensitive token or credentials, it detected right way and sent me an email about that. It is the most wonderful task that might slip way from mind if I don't give enough attention

What do you dislike most about this product?

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I usually don't review my code after pushing (as I myself wrote the code and checked the code, I kinda feel confident). But, it is not uncommon for me to forget that my access tokens are publicly accessible via my code. But, voila!!!! Git gurdian is here to assist me

Pros

  • Trustworthy
  • Caring
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Helps Innovate

Cons

  • Less Performance Enhancing
