Semgrep

1. Install Semgrep using pip, Homebrew, or Docker.

2. Run an initial scan with `semgrep --config auto` to detect common issues.

3. Select targeted rulesets from the Semgrep Registry based on language and security focus.

4. Review and triage results, filtering by severity and using SARIF or JSON output formats.

5. Configure ignored files and directories using a `.semgrepignore` file.

6. Write custom rules in YAML to detect project-specific patterns and vulnerabilities.

7. Integrate Semgrep into CI/CD pipelines to automate code scanning for each commit.
