How it works

Presidio action uses presidio-cli based on presidio-analyzer from Microsoft Presidio framework to check code against undesirable types of data such as 'EMAIL_ADDRESS' or 'PHONE_NUMBER' inside application's code.

          path: "my-project"
          # configuration-file - path to file with specific configuration
          # or use one of predefined files:
