Codacy Analysis CLI

Glossary: See glossary.md for shared definitions of Codacy concepts (issues, findings, severity, coverage, tools, patterns, etc.).

The Codacy Analysis CLI (codacy-analysis) runs static analysis locally on a repository. It detects languages, selects tools, and reports issues — without pushing code to Codacy. This is a different tool from the Codacy Cloud CLI (codacy), which queries remote Codacy data.

Always use --output-format json for structured output in agentic workflows.

For gating runs (pre-commit, PR review, CI), also pass --fail-if-missing — see Strict mode.
