history
Project history and usage
ld-find-code-refs is LaunchDarkly's build-time command-line tool for scanning source repositories and sending feature-flag code reference metadata to LaunchDarkly.
Project history
The project was published by LaunchDarkly as an Apache-2.0 Go command-line program in the launchdarkly GitHub organization. Its role is tied to LaunchDarkly's code references feature, which connects feature flag definitions in LaunchDarkly to the application code that references them.
The public tag history includes a 0.1.0 tag on a January 2019 commit and later 0.x releases through the 2019-era repository history visible from GitHub tags.
Adoption history
Adoption is mostly inside LaunchDarkly-using teams rather than the general CLI ecosystem. The tool appears in Homebrew as ld-find-code-refs, making it easy to install in macOS and CI environments that already use Brew.
How it is used
The package is used in CI or build workflows to scan checked-out code, read coderefs configuration such as .launchdarkly/coderefs.yaml, and publish references so engineers can navigate from a flag to the code paths that use it.
Why package nerds care
For package cataloging, ld-find-code-refs is a good example of a vendor-specific DevOps CLI whose usefulness comes from being scriptable in CI and packaged outside the vendor SaaS UI.
Timeline
- 2019: Public 0.1.0 tag appears in the LaunchDarkly GitHub repository.
- 2019: 0.5.0 tag appears after the initial 0.x release series.
- 2020s: The tool is distributed through Homebrew for LaunchDarkly code reference workflows.
