Fixing "Gitleaks analysis failed" issue in Gitlab pipeline

In New10 we have recently moved our security scans from Snyk to Security scanner integration. Recently, when i was integrating this with another service, i got this error

[INFO] [secrets] [2020-12-31T08:17:48Z] ▶ GitLab secrets analyzer v3.13.1
[INFO] [secrets] [2020-12-31T08:17:48Z] ▶ Running scan from commits file 06efd4ca11ae36382f34720e9eae3e1e6e0_commit_list.txt

[ERRO] [secrets] [2020-12-31T08:17:50Z] ▶ Gitleaks analysis failed: exit status 2

Well, such errors make everything so clear, right ? :)

Thanks to my colleagues, i was able to fix this. The only thing you need to do is in your .gitlab-ci.yml file add next variable:

variables:
    GIT_DEPTH: '2' # Tells git to fetch all the branches of the project, required by the analysis task

That should do the trick. Hope i help someone besides me ( I will definatelly will come back to this post in the future :) )
