Overview

This topic explains how to set up code references for engineering insights.

LaunchDarkly uses code references to associate flags with code-based changes such as pull requests and deployments. These associations let LaunchDarkly calculate usage metrics and increase the accuracy of the flag health metric. To learn more, read Flag health.

Set up code references

Set up code references for each codebase in which you use flags. To learn how, read the instructions using the Get started button at the bottom of the screen, or by reading Code references.

Additional setup

To finish setting up engineering insights, you may also need to Send deployment information to LaunchDarkly and Install the GitHub app. To learn more, read Confirm your setup.
