About GitSnitch
GitSnitch was built because GitHub security events are easy to miss and hard to audit after the fact. We watch your organization so you don't have to.
Why we exist
Most security incidents on GitHub aren't exotic. A developer accidentally commits an API key. A contractor gets added as an org admin and nobody notices. A force push rewrites history on a protected branch. A dormant account wakes up after months of inactivity.
GitHub does not send proactive alerts for most of these events. You can audit them after the fact — if you know where to look and have the time to dig through audit logs. By then, the damage is often done.
GitSnitch installs as a GitHub App, receives webhook events in real time, and fires an alert the moment something suspicious happens. Setup takes under a minute.
Our approach
Security tools should be trustworthy. Here's how we think about that.
Transparent by default
Every permission we request is documented on our homepage with an explanation of exactly why we need it. No surprises.
Read-only access
GitSnitch never writes to your repositories, creates issues, or modifies any settings. We observe and alert — nothing more.
No code stored
Secret scanning clones are deleted immediately after the scan completes. We store alert metadata, not your source code.
Honest about what's built
We ship frequently and are transparent about what exists today versus what's on the roadmap. No vaporware.
Get in touch
Questions, feedback, or enterprise inquiries — we read everything and respond quickly.
