Trestle for VS Code

This extension integrates Trestle, a local secret scanner, with Visual Studio Code. Findings appear inline in your editor as you work.

Features

  • Diagnostics for API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, certificates, and other credentials, shown inline in the editor.
  • Hover a finding to see the credential type and the rule that matched. With a Pro license, the hover also includes remediation guidance.
  • Files are re-scanned as you edit them, using the same rules as trestle scan on the command line.

Installation

The extension ships with the Trestle Community binary for your platform. After installing the extension, no further setup is required.

To use a different binary (for example, the Pro edition or a different release), make sure that trestle is on the system PATH, or set the trestle.path setting to its absolute path. The extension resolves the binary in this order:

  1. The path in trestle.path, if set.
  2. trestle on the system PATH.
  3. The Community binary bundled with the extension.

Commands

Command Description
Trestle: Restart Language Server Re-reads the path to the trestle binary and restarts the language server.

Settings

Setting Default Description
trestle.path (empty) Absolute path to a specific trestle executable. When empty, the extension uses trestle from the system PATH if available, otherwise falls back to the bundled Community binary.

Privacy

Trestle runs entirely on the local machine. There are no network calls, no telemetry, no account, and no signup.

Community and Pro

The Community edition is free and includes the full detection engine; this is the binary bundled with the extension. The Pro edition adds remediation guidance, with rotation steps for the deployment targets detected in the repository. See trestlescan.com for details on Pro.
