How Does Scarf Work?

Publish your open-source software to any repository, distribution channel, or hosting provider of choice.

Next : Add Scarf Gateway and tracking pixels.

Users interact with the gateway through a specially designed domain that gathers metadata from their requests and channels the traffic to your chosen distribution routes. By integrating tracking pixels into your documentation and website, you can obtain metadata and user engagement statistics from those interacting with your content.

Update your install instructions to use the custom domain you setup for Scarf Gateway, enabling users to access the new path.

Users maintain their usual commands and procedures for installing and updating their software, the only modification being the domain from which they retrieve data. Scarf Gateway unobtrusively redirects them to appropriate locations while gathering information about the download process.
