Use the endorctl toolchains command to detect the current tools used in your repository. You can also create a scan profile.

Usage

Use the help argument to see the options associated with toolchains command.
```
endorctl toolchains --help
```

Use endorctl detect to identify the tools currently used in your repository. The following arguments can help you refine your scan:

Use the -p argument to define the local filesystem path to the repository you want to scan.
```
endorctl toolchains detect -p <path_to_repository>
```

Use the --exclude-path argument to exclude specific file paths or directories.

endorctl toolchains detect -p <path_to_repository> --exclude-path 'python/**'

Use the --include-path argument to limit the scan to a specific file path or directory.

endorctl toolchains detect -p <path_to_repository> --include-path 'developement/**'

Use endorctl generate to create a scan profile. See Configure build tools for more details.

Use the profile-name argument to assign a name to your profile. This command creates a .endorctl/scanprofile.yaml file with the tools in the repository.
```
endorctl toolchains generate -p <path_to_repository>  --profile-name <profile-name>
```

Use the output-type argument to specify the format of the output file.

endorctl toolchains generate -p <path_to_repository> --profile-name <profile-name> --output-type <output-type>

Use the --output-path argument to set the location where the output file will be saved.

endorctl toolchains generate -p <path_to_repository> --profile-name <profile-name> --output-type json --output-path <output-path>

Use the --create-profile argument to create and save the scan profile using the specified options.

endorctl toolchains generate -p <path_to_repository> --profile-name <profile-name> --create-profile
