OX CLI

The OX CLI lets you run OX security scans directly from the command line. It helps you identify security issues early in the development process by scanning your code before committing changes or as part of your development workflow.

With the OX CLI, you can:

• Scan code on demand from the command line.

• Automatically scan code before committing or pushing changes by using Git hooks.

• Focus scans on specific security categories.

• Configure the CLI to match your environment and workflow.
