# Automatically Link Repository to Container via Smart Suggestions

This functionality helps you automatically connect your containers to the correct code repositories using intelligent matching.

#### Why link containers?

* View container vulnerabilities directly in the context of the right repository.
* Unlock Container Autofix, which can automatically fix issues in Dockerfiles.

### How Aikido's Smart Suggestions Work

* Aikido uses smart matching based on repository names and common path patterns.
* Aikido displays suggestions for you to **review and confirm**, so you stay in control of what gets linked.
