PASSWORD1                       # Replace literal string 'PASSWORD1' with '***REMOVED***' (default)
PASSWORD2==>examplePass         # replace with 'examplePass' instead
PASSWORD3==>                    # replace with the empty string
regex:password=\w+==>password=  # Replace, using a regex
regex:\r(\n)==>$1               # Replace Windows newlines with Unix newlines

For those who want to know which flavor of regex is accepted by regex, it's the one that's used with grep.

Hi, is there a way to search like "PASSWORD1".

Consider commit history with the following line:
password: "PASSWORD1"

When I replace the commit history, the above line becomes,
password: "REMOVED"

Again I'm getting secrets detected in repository.

Please provide your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

@yamunaarumugam If you have this exact situation (Password: "something") and you want it to be removed, the following regular expression should work. But use an online regex tester to check if it works first

regex:(?<=Password: ")[^"]*==>REMOVED
