{% include atomist/disclaimer.md %}

When installed for a GitHub organization, the Atomist GitHub app links repository activity to images. This enables Atomist to relate image tags and digests directly to specific commits in the source repository. It also opens up the possibility to incorporate image analysis in your Git workflow. For example, by adding analysis checks to pull request, or automatically raising pull requests for updating and pinning base image versions.

Install the GitHub app in the organization that contains the source code repositories for your Docker images.
