Visual Studio Code Plugin

Aikido integrates with VSCode and scans your codebases for secrets, API keys and SAST code issues. It runs scans whenever you open or save a file.

Every time you make and save changes in a file, a scan runs. If any issues are detected, they are highlighted in the editor and also displayed in the Problems panel. When you hover over a detected SAST issue, additional context about the problem is provided.

Step 2. In Aikido, go to the VSCode Integration Screen and create your token.
