To analyze source code from private repositories, you can authenticate access using SSH keys.

🔒 Currently, SSH key authentication is the only supported method for accessing protected repositories.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Generate an SSH Key

• Create a new SSH key using a standard tool like ssh-keygen.

• Do not use a passphrase when generating the key — passphrase-protected SSH keys are not supported.

⚠️ Important: Omit the passphrase during SSH key creation to ensure compatibility.

2. Add the SSH Key to Your Repository Host

Add the public SSH key to your version control platform (e.g., GitLab, Bitbucket, or GitHub):

• In GitLab: Settings → SSH Keys

• In Bitbucket: Personal Settings → SSH Keys

3. Add the Private Key to Your Account

1. Navigate to Current User → Settings in the application.

2. Paste the private SSH key into the designated input field.

• -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

• -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

1. Click Save to store your SSH key.

4. Specify the Repository in Static Analysis

Proceed to the Static Analysis tab and enter your Git repository path using the SSH format:

[e-mail]:username/reponame.git

This path format allows the platform to securely access and analyze the private repository.
