Description
In the gitleaks action it is not possible to scan a specific directory only.
gitleaks allows you to run a a scan of directory , there does not seems to be a support to do the same with the github action.
Common use case is a monorepo where only one folder belongs to a project.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by inspecting the action entry point and how it passes arguments to Gitleaks, then verify the behavior with a directory target; done means a workflow can scan only the selected folder in a monorepo.
