# Secrets Scan

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/UVbRxRU7chA>" %}

### **Prerequisite**

* Clouddefense CLI&#x20;
* Gitleaks

### Steps

To scan for secrets we need to pass “--no-git” flag from the CLI like,

```
// Some codecdefense full --api-key=6262fe7f-1434-2711-78fa-268ce4187339 --path=/opt/secretsandstuff --project-name=leaks --no-git
```

In the above command we pass our api-key, with the project path to scan and –no-git to include secret scans.

Once scans finish we can look the data in UI
