The section provides examples of various bash
commands to execute ld-find-code-refs
(when installed in the system PATH) with various configurations. We recommend reading through the following examples to gain an understanding of common configurations. For more information on advanced configuration, see CONFIGURATION.md
ld-find-code-refs \
--accessToken=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_ACCESS_TOKEN \ # example: api-xxxx
--projKey=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_PROJECT_KEY \ # example: my-project
--repoName=$YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME \ # example: my-repo
--dir="/path/to/git/repo"

ld-find-code-refs \
--accessToken="$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
--projKey="$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_PROJECT_KEY" \
--repoName="$YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME" \
--dir="/path/to/git/repo" \
--contextLines=3 # can be up to 5. If < 0, no source code will be sent to LD
A configuration with the the repoType
set to GitHub, and the repoUrl
set to a GitHub URL. We recommend configuring these parameters so LaunchDarkly is able to generate reference links to your source code:
ld-find-code-refs \
--accessToken="$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
--projKey="$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_PROJECT_KEY" \
--repoName="$YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME" \
--dir="/path/to/git/repo" \
--contextLines=3 \
--repoType="github" \
--repoUrl="$YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL" # example: https://github.com/launchdarkly/ld-find-code-refs
By default, ld-find-code-refs
will attempt to infer repository metadata from a git configuration. If you are scanning a codebase with a version control system other than git, you must use the --revision
and --branch
options to manually provide information about your codebase.
ld-find-code-refs \
--accessToken=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_ACCESS_TOKEN \ # example: api-xxxx
--projKey=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_PROJECT_KEY \ # example: my-project
--repoName=$YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME \ # example: my-repo
--dir="/path/to/git/repo" \
--revision="REPO_REVISION_STRING" \ # e.g. a version hash
--branch="dev"
When scanning a non-git repository, automatic branch garbage collection is disabled. The prune
sub-command may be used to manually delete code references for stale branches.
The following example instructs the prune
command to delete code references for the branches named "branch1" and "branch2":
ld-find-code-refs prune \
--accessToken=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_ACCESS_TOKEN \ # example: api-xxxx
--projKey=$YOUR_LAUNCHDARKLY_PROJECT_KEY \ # example: my-project
--repoName=$YOUR_REPOSITORY_NAME \ # example: my-repo
--dir="/path/to/git/repo" \
"branch1" "branch2"
