# Connect Your Repositories

## Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Welcome to Aikido, where we prioritize the security of your software without compromising on your data's privacy. At Aikido, we stand firm on our commitment: **we never store your code**.

As soon as you have done account setup and connected repositories, Aikido will instantly start a scan. Results will start coming in **within 1 minute. By connecting your repositories, you will already be benefiting from six different security scans** (SCA, SAST, Secrets, Licenses, IaC, Malware)**.**

You can setup an account in Aikido through your version control system —be it GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Devops, or on-premise solutions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/getting-started/setting-up-your-account/create-account-and-connect-your-repositories.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
