# Data Access

## Summary

* **Git Repositories**: The Gable CLI runs as part of the CI/CD process and relies on access to a local git repository that’s checked out on a CI/CD runner. Gable processes only the files it's explicitly configured to read, extracting code-level metadata used to derive data lineage.

## Scanning Code for Lineage

Gable derives data lineage by statically analyzing your application code in your git repositories via the Gable CLI or provided GitHub Actions. This requires a local instance of the git repository to be available in either a development or CI/CD environment. Gable’s CLI only processes the files provided to the lineage command.

Code-level metadata is sent to the Gable platform by the CLI via authenticated REST API.
