Installation

Install Globally (Recommended)

You can install the CodeCare CLI globally to use it anywhere:

npm install -g codecare

Install Locally (Optional)

Alternatively, you can install it locally in your project:

npm install codecare

Usage

After installing, you can use CodeCare directly from the command line.

IMPORTANT : Run codecare commands from the root folder of your project. This ensures that the tool can accurately scan all files within the project directory. Running the CLI outside the root folder may result in incomplete or incorrect analysis.
