Authenticate ggshield with GitGuardian (browser login, tokens, and api-status)
Now that ggshield is installed, the next step is to authenticate it with GitGuardian so it can scan and talk to the API. The most common method is browser-based login: ggshield auth login This opens your browser and prompts you to sign in through the GitGuardian dashboard. It automatically generates an access token for you and stores it safely in your local configuration. By default, the token is scoped for secret scanning, which is what most people need. We’ll revisit scopes later.
