trufflehog 3.96.0

Trace Output

https://gist.github.com/marpulli/40b2d7831a25d6207d053a4465db264a

Expected Behavior

Not errored

Actual Behavior

Errored with encountered errors during scan {"job": 1, "source_name": "trufflehog - git", "errors": ["error chunking dir \".\": core.repositoryformatversion does not support extension: worktreeconfig"]}

Steps to Reproduce

Run trufflehog with TRUFFLEHOG_PRE_COMMIT=1 in a git repo with worktrees enabled. Full command I'm running is TRUFFLEHOG_PRE_COMMIT=1 trufflehog git file://. --no-update

Environment

• OS: MacOS
• Version 26.5.2

Additional Context

The issue seems to be that go-git doesn't support worktreeConfig = true setting in git config. Upstream issue is here - it looks like v6 will support it when released.

@marpulli try using --trust-local-git-config arg, it should resolve it.

@k-sau Thanks for the pointer. I'm finding that it still does not work with --trust-local-git-config but does work with --no-trust-local-git-config
