Installing

Pixee is available as a GitHub App on the GitHub Marketplace. We provide a free tier offering that can be installed on any public or private repository. This is a great way to get started with Pixee and see how it can help to harden and secure your code.

To try Pixee, visit our GitHub App page. From there, click Install (or Configure) and follow the prompts from GitHub. You'll be directed to your Pixee dashboard once the installation process is complete.

See the Preferences page for information on how to configure Pixee to suit your needs.

Self-Hosted​

Pixee offers a self-hosted Pixee Enterprise Server for organizations that require additional security or compliance measures. To learn more about Pixee self-hosted solutions, please contact us.

Also contact us if you want to partner as early customers for other SCMs, including GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps.

Tool connections​

Pixee can provide fixes "out of the box" for Java and Python repositories. But you'll get the most value out of Pixee by connecting it to your existing code scanning tools and services. This will allow Pixee to provide more accurate and relevant fixes for your codebase.

Repository access​

During installation, you’ll need to specify which of your repositories Pixee can access. This can be done in one of two ways:

  • All repositories - By selecting this option, Pixee will monitor all your existing and future repositories.
  • Select repositories - Opting for this choice will present you with a list of your current repositories. From there, you can choose the specific repositories Pixee can access.

Updating repository access​

To update repository access for Pixee:

From Pixee Dashboard:

  • Click the "+Add installation" link at the bottom of your Installations page.

From GitHub:

  • Go to your GitHub homepage.
  • Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Applications.
  • Select "pixeebot" from the list of applications.
  • Click the configure button to access Pixee settings.

Repository access selection can be managed at any time by adjusting settings through either of these paths.
