How to scan a repository using Privado
This tutorial assumes that you have the following setup ready:
To clone the repository, use the following command
git clone https://github.com/saurabh-sudo/BankingSystem-Backend
It should be something similar to the following result:
Cloning into 'BankingSystem-Backend'...
remote: Enumerating objects: 198, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (198/198), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (115/115), done.

To start the scan, run the following command
privado scan BankingSystem-Backend
This will start the Privado scan and perform the static code analysis of the project and its dependencies. You will get the following result:

Successfully exported output to '/Users/anujagrawal/Desktop/Projects/Privado/repos/BankingSystem-Backend/.privado' folder
On the console, you can see data elements and corresponding third parties, storages, leakages, collection points, and processing instances detected during the scan. A detailed report is also generated at
BankingSystem-Backend/.privado/privado.json.Note that the actual result can be a bit different from the one shown above. It will depend on the version of Privado OSS installed and the repository that is being scanned
The scan usually runs for less than a minute, depending on the size of the repositories and dependencies.
After the scan is completed, the results will be stored in the
/.privado/privado.json file inside the repository folder (BankingSystem-Backend in our case)You can also look at the sample
privado.json generated during a scan on 27th Sep 2022.privado.json

If you are facing errors while cloning the repository, it can be due to the following reasons:
Git not installed
zsh: command not found: git
Poor network connectivity
Cloning into 'BankingSystem-Backend'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/saurabh-sudo/BankingSystem-Backend/': Could not resolve host: github.com
Make sure you have a stable internet connection and/or your firewall does not block GitHub repository cloning
If the above command does not start the scan, it can be due to the following reasons:
Docker engine not running
> Scanning directory: /Users/anujagrawal/Desktop/Projects/Privado/repos/BankingSystem-Backend
> Pulling the latest image: public.ecr.aws/privado/cli:latest
Received error: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
Make sure that Docker is installed and running on your machine.

Guessing source code language...
As of now we only support privacy code scanning for 'Java' code base.
We detected this code base of 'PYTHONSRC'.
While scanning any repository, make sure that the language is supported by Privado. You can find the languages supported by Privado by clicking here.
