Synopsis

Shell
codeql github merge-results --sarif=<file> --output=<file> <options>...

Description

[Deep plumbing] Merges multiple SARIF files into a single SARIF file.

Options

Primary Options

-s, --sarif=<file>

[Mandatory] Path to the SARIF files to use. This should be the output of codeql database analyze (or codeql database interpret-results) with --format sarif-latest for upload to github.com or the appropriate supported format tag for GitHub Enterprise Server instances (see SARIF support for code scanning for SARIF versions supported by your release).

-o, --output=<file>

[Mandatory] Path where the merged SARIF file should be stored.

Common options

-h, --help

Show this help text.

-J=<opt>

[Advanced] Give option to the JVM running the command.

(Beware that options containing spaces will not be handled correctly.)

-v, --verbose

Incrementally increase the number of progress messages printed.

-q, --quiet

Incrementally decrease the number of progress messages printed.

--verbosity=<level>

[Advanced] Explicitly set the verbosity level to one of errors, warnings, progress, progress+, progress++, progress+++. Overrides -v and -q.

--logdir=<dir>

[Advanced] Write detailed logs to one or more files in the given directory, with generated names that include timestamps and the name of the running subcommand.

(To write a log file with a name you have full control over, instead give --log-to-stderr and redirect stderr as desired.)

--common-caches=<dir>

[Advanced] Controls the location of cached data on disk that will persist between several runs of the CLI, such as downloaded QL packs and compiled query plans. If not set explicitly, this defaults to a directory named .codeql in the user's home directory; it will be created if it doesn't already exist.

Available since v2.15.2.
