Before pushing, verify:
.env files with real values are stagedsecrets.yml) are git-ignored.env.example contains only placeholdersIf real credentials are found in git history, they must be rotated immediately - removing from future commits does not invalidate exposed secrets.
Detect the project type by checking for these files:
| File | Project Type |
|---|---|
package.json | Node.js / React / Next.js |
requirements.txt / pyproject.toml | Python |
Cargo.toml | Rust |
go.mod | Go |
*.csproj / *.sln | C# / Unity |
Makefile only | C / C++ |
Use the appropriate .gitignore template based on detected type. For multi-language projects, combine relevant templates.
