### Testing using DCA
It is possible to test PR changes for all languages against the default (nightly) source suite using DCA.
As a prerequisite you need to install and setup [DCA](https://github.com/github/codeql-dca?tab=readme-ov-file#codeql-dca-dist-compare-on-actions).

After DCA has been installed, you can start an experiment using the following command (with suitable substitutions for the parameters in angle brackets)
```
./dca generate --language <language> <semmle-code-sha0>@<community-pack-sha0> <semmle-code-sha1>@<community-pack-sha1> --extra-config-file dca-configs/community-packs.yml
./dca start
```

Is it ok to add this to a public repo?

Uh, that is a good point - it only makes sense for internal users (at least the part about DCA).
Do the you know whether security lab has locations where we can put documentation like this?
