Installation
Talisman supports MAC OSX, Linux and Windows.
Talisman can be set up as either a pre-commit or pre-push hook on the git repositories.
You can choose to install Talisman in one of the following ways:
- As a global installation : This is the RECOMMENDED approach. In this way, Talisman will install as a git hook as a global git hook template on the machine and a CLI utility, which can also be used for git repo scanning. The git hook can be set up for either a pre-commit or a pre-push configuration.
- As a hook for a single repository : This approach will install Talisman as a pre-push hook to a single repository. You will have to take extra manual steps to extend Talisman as a repository scanner, beyond a pre-push git hook.
Disclaimer: Secrets creeping in via a forced push in a git repository cannot be detected by Talisman. A forced push is believed to be notorious in its own ways, and we suggest git repository admins to apply appropriate measures to authorize such activities.
