SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams prevent tampering, impersonation, and secret leakage in Git workflows by enforcing cryptographic verification, least-privilege access, and continuous scanning/auditing.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mandatory Signed Commits & Tags (2025): Require signed commits/tags and verify signatures in CI to block unsigned history.
Zero-Trust Git Workflow: Combine branch protection, least-privilege rules, and pull-request review enforcement so every change is accountable.
Secret Scanning & Secret Hygiene: Use GitHub secret scanning with push protection and/or local scanning tools like Gitleaks/Git-secrets to detect and prevent credential exposure.
Integrity Monitoring & Audit Trail: Enable commit verification checks, produce audit logs, and integrate security checks into push/PR pipelines.

Quick Start

Enable protected-branch rules in your Git hosting provider to require signed commits and enable secret scanning with push protection for your main branch.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce signed commits in GitHub and GitLab to prevent tampering?▼

To enforce signed commits, enable protected-branch rules in your Git hosting provider to require GPG or SSH signatures, and configure CI pipelines to verify these signatures before merging any pull requests.

What is a zero-trust Git workflow and how does it secure repositories?▼

A zero-trust Git workflow secures repositories by combining branch protection, least-privilege access controls, and mandatory pull-request review enforcement so every code change is cryptographically accountable and verified.

How do I set up secret scanning with push protection for my main branch?▼

Set up secret scanning by enabling GitHub secret scanning with push protection on your main branch, or integrate local scanners like Gitleaks to detect and block credential exposure before code is pushed.

Does this zero-trust Git security approach work with Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes, this approach applies to modern team workflows across GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, integrating signature verification, secret scanning, and audit logging directly into your CI/CD push and pull request pipelines.

What's the best way to block unsigned commits from entering Git history?▼

The best way to block unsigned commits is to require signed commits and tags via branch protection rules, then configure CI verification checks to automatically reject any pushes lacking valid cryptographic signatures.
