+# ggshield
+
+[GitGuardian CLI](https://docs.gitguardian.com/ggshield-docs/reference/overview) for detecting
+hardcoded secrets in your codebase.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Authentication
+
+ggshield requires authentication to run. You can authenticate in one of two ways:
+
+1. **Automatic authentication** (recommended for local development):
+
+   ```bash
+   ggshield auth login
+   ```
+
+   This opens a browser window for you to log in to your GitGuardian account.
+
+2. **Environment variable** (recommended for CI/CD):
+   ```bash
+   export GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY=your_api_key
+   ```
+   You can create a personal access token in your
+   [GitGuardian dashboard](https://dashboard.gitguardian.com/).
+
+### Configuration
+
+ggshield can be configured using:
+
+- `.gitguardian.yaml` or `.gitguardian.yml`
+- `.ggshield.yaml` or `.ggshield.yml`
+
+See the [GitGuardian documentation](https://docs.gitguardian.com/ggshield-docs/configuration) for
+configuration options.
+
+## Usage
+
+Enable ggshield in your repository:
+
+```bash
+trunk check enable ggshield
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- Scans all files for over 450+ types of hardcoded secrets
+- Supports custom exclusion patterns
+- Integrates with GitGuardian dashboard for secret management
+- Provides detailed remediation guidance
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use `--exclude` patterns to skip files unlikely to contain secrets
+- Configure `.gitguardian.yaml` to customize scanning behavior
+- Set `GITGUARDIAN_API_KEY` environment variable for CI/CD environments
+- Review and remediate detected secrets promptly
