How to set up ggshield, step by step
Open PowerShell — press Win, type PowerShell, and press Enter — then paste the command and press Enter.
Run ggshield --help to see the available commands, and
ggshield --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This is the install command ggshield publishes. Running it downloads ggshield and puts it somewhere your terminal can find it, so you can start using it right away.

On mobile
ggshield is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
ggshield is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
