A must have while using version-control

What differentiates GitGuardian from other similar products?
As a rookie programmer, I frequently make silly git pushes revealing my API key. Sometimes, this small mistake can lead to loads of unwanted billing issues due to the revealed key, or it can get permanently deleted by the owner. GitGuardian comes in handy, as it always alerts me about these mistakes.Hence, I always use it, whenever I am working on any project. Another thing about GitGuardian is that it is very easy to use. Just integrate it with GitHub and it does it starts doing its job. The customer support is great as well.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The fact that I receive instant notifications of any API expose through my git commits, and also a severity rating of the expose (Critical, High, Low) is my favorite aspect of using GitGuardian. It allows me to prioritize my tasks and enhances my productivity of using GitGuardian.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some times the alert emails can be too frequent. For non-critical API reveals , the alert emails' frequency can be reduced.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I will definitely recommend GitGuardian to anyone dealing with API tokens/keys and working on public repositories. It can save you from undesirable billing issues stemmed from that innocent mistake of unknowingly making a git push while not hiding the API key. This will save both time and money.
