## Known limitations

`check_for_secrets` Uses a git plugin that does pattern matching using regexes.
A limitation of this plugin is that using brackets (like `[`, `]`, `{`, `}` `(` and `)`) in secrets can result in unexpected behaviour and crashes.

If the addon fails during secrets checking with errors originating from grep (I.E. `grep: Unmatched [, [^, [:, [., or [=`),
change the passwords that contain brackets or set `check_for_secrets` to `false`.
