Getting Started·Beginner

Quick Start

Scan your first repo in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Get your app to GitHub

Your code needs to be in a GitHub repository before FinishKit can scan it. If it's already there, skip to Step 2.

Not sure how? Check the Get to GitHub guides for your specific tool.

Step 2: Install the FinishKit GitHub App

Go to your FinishKit Dashboard and click New Project. You'll be prompted to install the FinishKit GitHub App on your account or organization.

This gives FinishKit read-only access to your repos so it can clone and scan them.

Step 3: Select your repo

After installing the GitHub App, select the repository you want to scan. FinishKit will ask for your launch goal: a one-sentence description of what you're trying to ship.

Step 4: Run your first scan

Click Start Scan. FinishKit will:

  • Clone your repo
  • Run multi-pass LLM analysis across your codebase
  • Generate your Finish Plan (usually takes 2-5 minutes)

You'll see live progress in the run view. When it's done, you'll have a prioritized list of findings.

Step 5: Read your Finish Plan

Your Finish Plan shows every finding organized by severity. Start with the Blockers. These are things that will actively prevent your app from working in production.

Free plan includes limited scans per month. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited scans and team access.
