The purpose of this project is to create a well tested git pre-commit hook to spot AWS keys and secrets in git commits and check with the committer that they are indeed meant to be there.

Run instal.sh to instal this as a global pre-commit hook.

Execute git init in an existing repository to add this hook.

Note that if you already have a pre-commit hook installed, this will not work; you will have to do something cleverer.

You will need shunit2. Clone this project and add {cloneLocation}/shunit2/source/2.1/src/ to your PATH variable.

From the root of this project, run ./first-test.sh

Many thanks to Aniket Panse who created this pre-commit hook, which acted as my starting point. Also to Matt Venables whose instructions on creating a global git commit hook are the basis of the installation instructions.
