About {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}
{% data reusables.code-scanning.about-code-scanning %}
You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} to find, triage, and prioritize fixes for existing problems in your code. {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %} also prevents developers from introducing new problems. You can schedule scans for specific days and times, or trigger scans when a specific event occurs in the repository, such as a push.
If {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} finds a potential vulnerability or error in your code, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} displays an alert in the repository. After you fix the code that triggered the alert, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} closes the alert. For more information, see "Managing {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alerts for your repository."
To monitor results from {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} across your repositories or your organization, you can use webhooks and the {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} API. For information about the webhooks for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}, see "Webhook events and payloads." For information about API endpoints, see "{% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning_capc %}."
