How to ignore executables and link libraries when detect

[BoOuyang-TigerGraph]

Hi all,
I am using detect secrets to scan the environment when the program is running, rather than the source code of the program. In order to improve the scanning speed, I don't want to scan the binary executable of the program. How can I set it?

best regards

Hello. You can use the --exclude-files filter. This can be done via the CLI using the --exclude-files argument which accepts a regex. Or you can use the same filter in the .secrets.baseline file under the following filter with your custom file path regex:

{
      "path": "detect_secrets.filters.regex.should_exclude_file",
      "pattern": [
        "test*"
      ]
}
