# GitHub Container Registry You can integrate your Github Container Registry with Aikido to scan your containers for known vulnerabilities. Follow the simple steps below to activate this feature: **Step 1:** Log into your Github account to gather some data. We'll have to gather your username (see screenshot) ![GitHub user profile overview with avatar, username, followers, and edit profile option.](/files/LqE3Vb1oHplDqPEW10Xv) **Step 2:** Copy the organisation name where the container registry resides. This is visible in the github-url (see screenshot) ![URL input field displaying "https://github.com/Organization" for organization link entry.](/files/mwA5lVkP2vsUcC3iXwfR) **Step 3:** Under profile settings, developer settings, Personal access tokens, Tokens (classic), generate a new classic token for Aikido (direct link: ). the scope includes: `read:packages` ![GitHub token creation: No expiration, read package access scope selected.](/files/lKJvawMKYR5XCZ1BGW8t) **Step 4:** Enter the collected data in Aikido (direct link: ) ![Form to connect and authenticate a Github container image registry.](/files/39SBZUvbI2SkHvDbnCOF) **Step 5:** Aikido will now find all container repositories you can access and list them. **Step 6:** Repositories can be linked to a code repository in order to perform better deduplication of findings. This step is optional! **Step 7:** In the action menu next to the registry, click 'scan repos in registry' to get started. Results will appear in the Feed! ### --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
