It is fun to explore the Git internals! Some time back, I used it to learn Golang [1]. Two birds with one stone!

Shameless plug: I gave a tech talk on this at my last company, and implemented some of these in Golang as a learning exercise [0]. While it is not mandatory to know the internals, but doing so helps a lot when you occasionally encounter a git-gotcha!

Shameless plug: I created a Golang utility to scrub passwords from a deeply nested struct, before logging, at Nutanix some time back [0][1]. We also run an automated test to try out all operations with a known password, and then ensuring that it is not present in any of the log files.

Show HN: Go-scrub: Scrubbing sensitive fields from a deeply nested Go struct

srathi — Mon, 02 May 2022 17:04:19 +0000

Go-scrub is a utility to mask a given set of field names from a deeply nested struct at any level. It is useful for logging structs which may have customer inputs (such as passwords, keys, etc.). It uses the "reflect" package to modify the struct values at runtime.
