TruffleHog Version

3.25.2

Expected Behavior

When running the Trufflehog the output containing the line number should match the line in the actual commit.

Actual Behavior

The lines do sometimes not match.

Steps to Reproduce

We are running Trufflehog on internal repositories with the command:
trufflehog git --only-verified

and the output in the terminal shows a line number. When searching for the commit in Azure DevOps the secret sometimes appears on a different line than stated in the output.

Environment

• OS: macOS Monterey
• Version 12.6

Additional Context

When the lines do not match, the line number in the commit is around five lines below or above.
