Usepythoninstead.Docker NotesIf docker is installed you can build an image and run this as a container.docker build -t mysherlock-image .Once the image is built, sherlock can be invoked by running the following:docker run --rm -t mysherlock-image user123Use the following command to access the saved results:docker run --rm -t -v "$PWD/results:/opt/sherlock/results" mysherlock-image -o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user123Docker is instructed to create (or use) the folderresultsin the current working directory and to mount it at/opt/sherlock/resultson the docker container by using the-v "$PWD/results:/opt/sherlock/results"options.Sherlockis instructed to export the result using the-o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txtoption.Usingdocker-composeYou can use thedocker-compose.ymlfile from the repository and use this command:docker-compose run sherlock -o /opt/sherlock/results/text.txt user123ContributingWe would love to have you help us with the development of Sherlock. Each and every contribution is greatly valued!Here are some things we would appreciate your help on:Addition of new site support ¹Bringing back site support ofsites that have been removedin the past due to false positives[1] Please look at the Wiki entry onadding new sitesto understand the issues.TestsThank you for contributing to Sherlock!Before creating a pull request with new development, please run the tests
to ensure that everything is working great.  It would also be a good idea to run the tests
before starting development to distinguish problems between your
environment and the Sherlock software.The following is an example of the command line to run all the tests for
Sherlock.  This invocation hides the progress text that Sherlock normally
outputs, and instead shows the verbose output of the tests.$cdsherlock/sherlock$python3-munittesttests.all--verboseNote that we do currently have 100% test coverage.  Unfortunately, some of
the sites that Sherlock checks are not always reliable, so it is common
to get response problems.  Any problems in connection will show up as
warnings in the tests instead of true errors.If some sites are failing due to connection problems (site is down, in maintenance, etc)
you can exclude them from tests by creating atests/.excluded_sitesfile with a
list of sites to ignore (one site name per line).Stargazers over timeLicenseMIT © Sherlock ProjectOriginal Creator -Siddharth Dushantha
