Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about FlagShark's GitHub integration

How does FlagShark integrate with GitHub?

FlagShark uses a secure GitHub App that monitors your pull requests. When a PR is opened or updated, FlagShark automatically scans the code changes for feature flags and posts a detailed comment with findings. The entire process is automated and requires no manual intervention.

What programming languages are supported?

FlagShark supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, and C#. We detect flags from popular feature flag services including LaunchDarkly, Unleash, Split.io, Flipt, and custom implementations. New languages and services are added regularly based on user feedback.

Can I customize which flags to ignore?

Yes! You can configure FlagShark to ignore specific flags, flag patterns, or entire files. Configuration is done through a `.flagshark.yml` file in your repository root, giving you full control over the detection process.

How long does analysis take?

FlagShark typically completes analysis within 10-30 seconds of a PR being opened or updated. Larger PRs may take slightly longer, but we optimize for speed to avoid blocking your development workflow. You'll see the comment appear automatically once analysis is complete.

Is my code safe with FlagShark?

Absolutely. FlagShark never stores your source code. We analyze code in real-time and only retain metadata about detected flags. All data transmission is encrypted, and we're SOC 2 Type II compliant. Your code never leaves GitHub's infrastructure during analysis.
