| Best use | For developers reviewing features as small changes and revisiting earlier steps. Start with a separate practice clone to learn working copies and Bookmarks; delay team adoption until compatibility with required Git tooling is checked. | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants a local pre-commit secret scan plus a second CI gate. It is especially useful around deployment configuration and environment files. It does not replace a secret manager or credential revocation after a leak. |
