Output Guide

Default artifact layout

After a standard run, SourceSage writes:

.SourceSageAssets/
  Repository_summary.md

When --diff is enabled and enough tags exist, SourceSage can also write:

.SourceSageAssets/
  RELEASE_REPORT/
    Report_<latest_tag>.md

What the primary documentation artifact includes

• Project title and tree structure
• Git repository information when a .git directory is available
• File and language statistics
• File-by-file excerpts for non-excluded files

--lite differences

When you run SourceSage with --lite, the same Repository_summary.md keeps:

• Project title and tree structure
• Git repository information when available
• File and language statistics
• Root README files only

It skips the full ## File Contents section so the summary stays smaller during first-pass exploration.

Example output

The repository ships an example documentation artifact at example/Repository_summary.md.
