Quickstart (5 Minutes)

Let's index a project and run your first analysis.

1. Index Code

Pick a small folder to start with (e.g., this project's own directory).

Tip: Ignore Files First

You can create a .cgcignore file (like .gitignore) to skip folders like node_modules or venv. 📄 Configure .cgcignore

cgc index .

You will see the tool parsing files and creating nodes in the database.

2. Lists Repos

Confirm it was added to the graph.

cgc list

3. Run Your First Analysis

Let's ask the graph a question. "Find all callers of a function". Replace my_function with a real function name from your code.

cgc analyze callers my_function

4. (Optional) Visualize

If you have a browser available, seeing is believing.

cgc visualize

This command generates a link. Click it to open the Graph Browser.
