Set up an integration

You must give Snyk access to your environment, to allow Snyk to scan that environment. The type of integration you need depends on what systems you use, and what you want to scan. See Integrate with Snyk for a full list of integrations available.

You can set up this integration:

• Following a guided process, immediately after creating a Snyk account.

• Manually, at any point.

Guided process (after signup)

Immediately after you Create a Snyk account, you will see some optional getting started walkthrough prompts. You can choose to provide some information to help Snyk guide your experience, and then follow the prompts to integrate your code repository for a seamless experience.

For example:

If you select GitHub, then fill in the details as prompted.

Finally, you can Import a Project to scan:

Manual process (any time)

You can add an integration to Snyk manually at any point (See Integrate with Snyk for more details).

Example: Git repository integration

To scan code from a Git-based source code repository, you must integrate Snyk to a Git repository integration. Snyk has pre-built integrations for GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket Cloud, and other repositories.

First, log in to the Snyk Web UI (app.snyk.io), and select Integrations > Source control.

To connect Snyk with your GitHub repositories:

1. Choose whether to give Snyk access to both public and private repositories or only to public repositories. The GitHub authorization screen opens.

2. In the GitHub authorization screen, click Authorize Snyk to provide Snyk with access to your repositories - enter your account credentials and save your details when prompted.

See Git repository integrations (SCMs) for more information.

What's next?

You can now import a Snyk Project, to tell Snyk what to scan for issues.
