Would have been nice to expose only one variable, but I assume it's not possible to do operations like max or + here?

It seems possible if I do something like
GITHUB_COUNT="<<pipeline.trigger_parameters.github_app.total_commits_count>>"
GITLAB_COUNT="<<pipeline.trigger_parameters.gitlab.total_commits_count>>"
MAX_COUNT=$(( GITHUB_COUNT > GITLAB_COUNT ? GITHUB_COUNT : GITLAB_COUNT ))
echo "export CIRCLE_COMMIT_COUNT=$MAX_COUNT" >> $BASH_ENV
In run, before the ggshield secret scan command
Do you think it's worth it ?

It's a bit hackish, but that is what happens with shell scripting :). I think it's worth it because it means we don't have to make a new ggshield release if we ever find a way to get the BitBucket count, or whatever ci-host-of-the-day is added to CircleCI in the future.

Hi @agateau-gg, I am tackling this issue since I have some time now but I am really struggling to make this work.
I've tried a lot of solutions (you can see them in the commits of this branch) but I can't find a way to fetch both values (for GitHub and GitLab). Can we have a look together if you have some time please?

The
base_revisionhas many issues and can't be relied on to get the commit range.The proposed solution is to fetch the number of commits included in the push event in order to list the commits to scan.
