GitHub Push Protection Demo

This repository demonstrates how GitHub's push protection features can identify and block sensitive data like API keys from being committed to a repository.

The Demo Application

This is a simple Flask API with an intentionally exposed API key in the source code. In real applications, you should NEVER hardcode sensitive credentials in your source code.

Setup and Usage

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Run the application:

   python src/app.py
   

3. Access the API:

   • Home endpoint: http://localhost:5000/
