Stop AI coding assistants from leaking your secrets

You're careful not to let your secrets wind up in source code. You use .gitignore files. You scan for secrets with TruffleHog and turn on GitHub's push protection. But despite all this, chances are your AI coding assistant is sharing your secrets with a large language model (LLM) in the cloud. 😱

That's where CodeGate comes in. CodeGate is a new open source project from Stacklok that runs locally to protect your privacy and security as you use AI coding tools.

In this feature spotlight video, I show you how CodeGate encrypts your secrets before they are sent to an LLM, without changing how you interact with your AI coding assistant.

Learn more about CodeGate on the website, check out the docs to get started, and join us on Discord!
