Using Codespaces

You can use GitHub Codespaces to run and develop Component Detection in the cloud. To do so, click the green "Code" button at the top of the repository and select "Open with Codespaces". This will open a new Codespace with the repository cloned and ready to go.

Using VS Code DevContainer

This is similar to Codespaces:

Make sure you meet the requirements and follow the installation steps for DevContainers in VS Code
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/component-detection
Open this repo in VS Code
A notification should popup to reopen the workspace in the container. If it doesn't, open the Command Palette and type Remote-Containers: Reopen in Container.

Community Meetings

Once a month, we host a community meeting that anyone is allowed to join and discuss the project. We typically cover the changes over the last month, the roadmap and issues, and any questions or concerns that the community has.

You can find the future and past meeting details in the Community Meeting Overview.

You can additionally find the details in the Discussions Tab.

Telemetry

By default, telemetry will output to your output file path and will be a JSON blob. No data is submitted to Microsoft.
