What problem does it solve?

Run Opengrep for pattern-based code search and security scanning. Use when grep is insufficient for finding code patterns that require structural understanding (function calls, data flow, nested structures). Also use for security vulnerability detection with custom YAML rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic code search that understands code structure, reducing false positives compared to text grep.
  • Security scanning with configurable YAML rule sets to detect vulnerabilities.
  • Compatibility with Semgrep rule syntax and CLI workflows, enabling easy rule reuse across projects.

Quick Start

Run opengrep to scan your codebase with a default rule set and discover structural patterns and security issues.
