Open beta availability of Git repository cloning

Today, Snyk is pleased to announce open beta availability of Git repository cloning – a new, and more scalable way for Snyk to provide code security and code quality improvements via SCM integrations – helping you develop fast and stay secure.

The open beta is rolling out to all customers, and across all of Snyk’s deployments in the coming days, and will be available – via Snyk Preview – for all SCM integrations (GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Bitbucket Server, Bitbucket Cloud App, Bitbucket Cloud (Legacy), and Azure Repos), and SCM “flows” (import, PR checks, recurring tests).

When enabled by a Snyk Organization administrator, these flows will be backed by a temporary and shallow Git clone of repository contents, helping Snyk perform its security analyses more reliably and more accurately. This capability has particular benefit for customers using SCM integrations at scale, as it protects against a breach of SCM API rate- and content- limits, and improves Snyk’s analysis of very large repos (sometimes referred to as “monorepos”), by surfacing previously unreachable contents.

Be on the lookout for this new capability, scheduled to land in your Snyk Organization in the coming days.

Meanwhile, you can read more in the docs.
