Heimdall is a tool for finding specific text patterns that you don't want in your code. It requires The Silver Searcher to be installed.
Rules will be read from a heimdall.json file in your working directory. The file uses the following format:
{
"rules":[
{
"name": "Rule Name",
"pattern": ".+The pattern you want to search for.*",
"description": "An explanation of what the rule is and why it's used",
"flags":"--ignore *.unwanted-extension",
"path":"repo_dir"
}
]
}
