## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Legitify is Legit Security's open-source CLI for finding and helping remediate security, compliance, and misconfiguration risks across GitHub and GitLab assets.

### Projektgeschichte

Legit Security announced Legitify on 2022-10-05 as an open-source GitHub configuration scanner for security, DevOps, and developer teams. The repository and project site later described the scope as source-code-management posture across GitHub and GitLab assets, with built-in policies and remediation-oriented output.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The project was packaged as a standalone CLI, GitHub Action, Homebrew formula, Nix package, and GitHub CLI extension. That mix made it fit both one-off audits from a workstation and scheduled checks in CI for organizations managing many repositories, members, teams, runners, branch protections, and tokens.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Typical usage is to authenticate to GitHub or GitLab, run `legitify analyze`, and review policy findings against repositories, organizations, runners, webhooks, actions, branch protection, and other SCM resources. Its Homebrew packaging matters because security teams can hand developers a familiar install path instead of a vendor-only SaaS workflow.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Legitify is a package-nerd example of application-security posture management ideas escaping into a plain CLI. It packages policy checks and remediation hints as a tool that can live in local shells, CI jobs, and GitHub Actions, adjacent to linters and secret scanners.
