Conversation
Part of the Git Hooks RFC rollout (#34619). Adds a hooks-only root package.json (no app code at root) that installs lefthook, which runs gitleaks against staged changes on commit. prepare skips lefthook when git is absent and works under both cmd.exe and POSIX sh. lefthook's own postinstall is disabled via allowBuilds in pnpm-workspace.yaml since prepare handles installation.

Part of the Git Hooks RFC rollout (#34619).
Adds a pre-commit hook that runs gitleaks on staged changes, same setup as bcgov/ppr and bcgov/namex#2019 (repos with no root
package.json).package.json- hooks-only, just installs lefthook. Subfolders keep managing their own deps.lefthook.yml- secret scan only vianpx gitleaks-secret-scanner.gitleaks.toml- gitleaks default rules, lockfiles + this config allowlistedpnpm-workspace.yaml-allowBuilds: lefthook: false, so lefthook's own postinstall doesn't run (preparehandles the install)prepareisgit --version && lefthook install || exit 0, so it skips when there's no git (build images) and works on Windows too.To get the hook: run
pnpm installat the repo root once.Tested
