Understanding Sourced CE: An Analogy

Imagine Sourced CE as a vast library that stores not just books, but knowledge—a collection of all your organization’s code. In this library:

  • The bookshelf represents the Code Retrieval, which allows you to easily pull any volume (or code history) from your organized shelves (or repositories).
  • Each book (source code) is carefully categorized and analyzed for easier location, akin to how Sourced CE identifies languages and extracts relevant information.
  • As you browse these texts, Sourced CE provides insights into their history—like looking back at the evolution of a novel from first draft to final publication through History Analysis.
  • Finally, whether you prefer outlines, graphs, or formal essays, you can generate any report you desire with familiar tools, similar to how the librarians guide you in creating insightful reports.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, you might encounter hurdles while setting up or using Sourced CE. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:

  • If the web interface doesn’t load, ensure that Docker is running correctly on your machine.
  • In case you can’t authenticate، double-check your github_token and organization name.
  • If you notice any unexpected behavior, consult the Frequently Asked Questions or detailed Troubleshooting sections.
  • Community support is just a click away! Ask for help in our sourced Forum.
