Getting Started
Source: GitHub README
- From the Semgrep AppSec Platform
- From the CLI
For new users, we recommend starting with the Semgrep AppSec Platform because it provides a visual interface, a demo project, result triaging and exploration workflows, and makes setup in CI/CD fast. Scans are still local and code isn’t uploaded. Alternatively, you can also start with the CLI and navigate the terminal output to run one-off searches.
