What you need

  • An authenticated GitHub account.
  • A public repository. Private repos require the GitHub App.
  • An available scan allowance (your lifetime free scan, or a holder allowance after $RED activation).

Repositories that are missing, private, or larger than RedNest’s size limit are refused without consuming an allowance in the usual failure path.

Results

  • Progress and findings appear on the scan’s page in the dashboard.
  • Quick Scan does not publish GitHub Checks or pull request review comments.
  • Only you (the requester) can see that Quick Scan’s results under the usual dashboard access rules.
