Git Hook Config

[saintmalik]

hello there

please is it possible to add args of '--all-files' to the git hook config

detect-secrets is skipping files with ".txt" files

see here

  - repo: https://github.com/Yelp/detect-secrets
    rev: v1.3.0
    hooks:
      - id: detect-secrets
         args: ['--all-files', '*']

Hi @saintmalik , I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Please see below logs for details.

Could you please provide detailed steps to reproduce (a minimal MVC would be ideal).

• Terminal output with a sample .txt file ( private_key_2.txt ):

~/git/test-repo   master ✚  git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
	new file:   private_key_2.txt


~/git/test-repo   master ✚  cat private_key_2.txt
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
somethingSuperRandomAndSecretHereThatShouldNeverBeShared
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

~/git/test-repo   master ✚  git commit -m "test commit"
Detect secrets...........................................................Failed

Possible mitigations:
  - For information about putting your secrets in a safer place, please ask in
