Supported Languages

GitKB’s code intelligence supports 17 languages with full native AST extraction: symbols, calls, imports, call graph traversal, impact analysis, and dead code detection.

Supported languages

All 17 languages ship as language packs with the same level of support — symbols, calls, and imports extracted from the AST, enabling full call graph traversal and impact analysis.

LanguageFile extensions
Rust.rs
Python.py
JavaScript.js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs
TypeScript.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts
Go.go
C.c, .h
C++.cpp, .cc, .cxx, .hpp, .hh, .hxx
C#.cs
Java.java
Ruby.rb
Elixir.ex, .exs
Kotlin.kt, .kts
Swift.swift
Scala.scala, .sc
PHP.php
Haskell.hs
Lua.lua

What you get for every language:

  • git kb code symbols — functions, methods, classes, structs, traits, interfaces
  • git kb code callers — all call sites for any symbol
  • git kb code callees — everything a function calls
  • git kb code impact — transitive blast radius across the call graph
  • git kb code dead — symbols with zero callers

Non-code formats

These formats are recognized by file extension (they appear in git kb code stats) but don’t support code intelligence features — no symbol extraction, no call graph, no impact analysis.

FormatFile extensions
HTML.html, .htm
CSS.css, .scss, .sass, .less
JSON.json
YAML.yaml, .yml
Nix.nix

How to index

Index a directory or specific file:

git kb code index src/
git kb code index src/auth.ts

GitKB auto-detects the language by file extension. After initial indexing, the daemon watches for file changes and re-indexes automatically (500ms debounce).

To re-index everything and clean up deleted symbols:

git kb code index --prune src/
