GitHub Cloud

Connect GitHub Cloud by installing the HoundDog.ai GitHub App.

Installing the GitHub App

1. Navigate to Settings → Source Control, click Add, and choose GitHub.
2. Review the GitHub App permissions, then click Install GitHub App. You are redirected to GitHub to complete the installation.
3. In GitHub, choose All repositories or Only select repositories.

Once installed, the selected repositories are imported into HoundDog.ai. With Enable automatic repository import turned on, new repositories are discovered and imported weekly.

Configuring CI Jobs

Select the repositories to configure — individually or all at once — and click Set up CI. You can configure:

• Scan frequency — pull request scans, periodic scans (daily or weekly), or both.
• Build blocking — fail the CI build when dataflows at or above a severity threshold are found.
• CI runner (organization accounts only) — choose a Runner Type (Runner Instance or Runner Group) and a Runner Name. The instance list includes GitHub-hosted standard runners and any self-hosted runners registered on the repository or organization.
• Ignore file patterns — paths to exclude, such as test folders.

Preview the generated GitHub Actions workflow before rolling it out, then deliver it with Commit Directly or Create Pull Request.
