Quick start

Follow these steps to go from zero to a running audit.

1. Create an account

1. Open the Guardix app (from guardix.io or your team’s link).
2. Sign in with GitHub or Google.
3. Complete any onboarding prompts — for example, choosing a personal vs team workspace when offered.

2. Connect a repository

You can audit:

• Private repositories — install or authorize the GitHub App when prompted so Guardix can clone the code you grant access to.
• Public repositories — often you can start from a public GitHub URL without full org access, depending on product settings.

See Connecting repositories for details.

3. Pick a branch or commit

Choose the snapshot you want analyzed — usually a release branch, tag, or a specific commit under review.

4. Start the audit

Start the audit from the repository or audit screen. You’ll see live progress as stages advance; you can leave the tab and return later.

5. Review findings

When the run completes, open the findings view: severity, confidence, code locations, and evidence. Use Understanding findings for how to read and prioritize items.

6. Share or export

• Share link — generate a read-only link for stakeholders (Sharing audit results).
• Report — download HTML/PDF when available (Downloading reports).

Tips

• First audit free is often available for new workspaces — check in-app messaging for current offers.
• For teams, invite members and align on which workspace owns which repos (Working with teams).
