Secrets detection

Git secrets (not to be confused with git-secret, nor with GitHub Actions Encrypted Secrets) acts as an extra line of defence to prevent you committing secrets. Once installed, it hooks into the git commit command.

From your teaching-vacancies repo, run:

brew install git-secrets
git secrets --install
git secrets --add '.+_PASSWORD\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_ID\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_KEY\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_SECRET\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_TOKEN\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_SALT\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_AUTHENTICATION\s*=\s*.+'
git secrets --add '.+_BASE\s*=\s*.+'

You should see these patterns added to the .git/config file.
