Create a Radar Project

Create a Radar project to start scanning your repositories for vulnerabilities, insecure dependencies, and hardcoded credentials.

Prerequisites

A ByteHide account at cloud.bytehide.com
A GitHub repository with the source code you want to scan

Step 1: Open the Projects Dashboard

Step 2: Choose Your Language

Select the primary programming language for your project: JavaScript, .NET, Java, Swift, Kotlin, or Objective-C.

Language and Scanning Scope

The language selection optimizes scanning rules for your project, but Radar analyzes all code in the repository regardless of the selected language. If your repository contains multiple languages, choose the primary one.

Step 3: Choose Tools

Select Radar to enable vulnerability scanning. You can enable multiple tools for the same project.

Radar + Secrets

If your codebase contains hardcoded credentials, consider enabling both Radar and Secrets together. Radar detects hardcoded secrets in your code, and Secrets provides a secure vault to store and manage them. Detected secrets can be auto-imported into ByteHide Secrets for rotation and secure distribution.

Step 4: Name Your Project and Create

Enter a project name and optionally assign it to a team. Click Create project.

Step 5: Connect a Repository or Get Your Token

After creation, you have two options:

Connect a repository directly - Go to Connect Your Repository to link a GitHub repo from the UI and start scanning immediately
Use the project token - If you want to integrate via CI/CD, IDE, MCP, or API, go to the Settings tab and copy your project token

Keep Your Token Secure

Never commit your project token to source control or share it in public channels. If compromised, regenerate it from Project Settings.
