## Connecting to Rover

Rover authenticates users and handles codebase connections via *GitHub*.
Head to [`app.getrover.com`](https://app.getrover.com/login)
to sign up with your GitHub account,
and follow the 2-step onboarding process to:

* Install the Rover GitHub app on your GitHub org or personal account
* Select 1 or more repositories to connect to Rover

Once you've selected your repositories and completed onboarding,
you'll be taken to the Rover platform homepage.
In the background,
Rover will start indexing your connected codebases
and building up a map of the code;
this will shortly be available to you for code chat and exploration.
Once connected, any pull request you open will be scanned for issues,
which will be served as comments directly on the pull request.

## What's next?

Once Rover is connected to your codebases,
it automatically updates its understanding of the code
on new pushes and pull requests:

* On a push, the code is indexed for availability in [graph](./features/code-graph) and [chat](./features/code-chat)
* When a pull request is opened, a [scan](./features/code-alerts) of the branch is triggered automatically

Learn more about Rover's core features
and how you can get the most out of your code.
