**You wouldn't commit your `.env` to GitHub. Stop pasting it into ChatGPT.**

A free command-line tool that strips personal data, passwords, and API keys out of your files before you share them with an LLM. Point it at a file, folder, or zip — get a clean copy back. Nothing ever leaves your machine.

Shush is a **terminal command** (not a chatbot, not a website). You run it on your own computer — Mac Terminal, Windows PowerShell, or Linux shell. It reads a file, a folder, or a zip, replaces every sensitive value with a safe placeholder like `[EMAIL]`, `[IP]`, `[API_KEY]`, `[NATIONAL_ID]`, and writes a clean copy you can safely paste into **ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek, or a local Llama model.** Nothing ever leaves your machine.
