This entry in `.codeqlmanifest.json` was intended to allow unpacking the CodeQL CLI as a subdirectory of `ql`, and things would Just Work. However, it is not necessary anymore because recent releases of the CLI will search their own directory as a fallback _independently_ of the parent directory. On the contrary, removing this link will make internal testing easier because you then run a test build of the CLI with `--search-path` pointing to the `ql` checkout without inadvertently making extractors in a _different_ build that is unpacked there visible.
CodeQL
This open source repository contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power LGTM, and the other products that Semmle makes available to its customers worldwide.
How do I learn CodeQL and run queries?
There is extensive documentation on getting started with writing CodeQL. You can use the interactive query console on LGTM.com or the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code extension to try out your queries on any open source project that's currently being analyzed.
Contributing
We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our contributing guidelines. You can also consult our style guides to learn how to format your code for consistency and clarity, how to write query metadata, and how to write query help documentation for your query.
