 - If you defined secret patterns in `.gitleaks.toml`, Gitleaks may report errors
  about that file. If this happens, you can
  [configure Gitleaks to ignore that file](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#gitleaksignore).
 - Gitleaks doesn't consider the `FILTER_REGEX_EXCLUDE`, `FILTER_REGEX_INCLUDE`,
  `IGNORE_GENERATED_FILES`, `IGNORE_GITIGNORED_FILES` variables. For more
  information about how to ignore files with Gitleaks, see
  [the Gitleaks documentation](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#gitleaksignore).
