Contributing Guidelines

How to Contribute

Open a PR. Give the PR a descriptive title. Add some comments describing what is the purpose of the PR.

BUT before you do that!

Make sure you pass this list of requirements.

You've run go fmt.
You've run golint.
Your Go changes are confined to gitleaks_test.go and main.go. This is subject to change as the project evolves. Stylistically, I like having a single go file considering the size of this project (its tiny).
You've added test cases for your changes.
You've updated the changelog.
Your tests pass.
