Running the Merganser

You can run Merganser with all available options (store all available information) by executing the following command:

./runAll <repository_list_name>

Where <repository_list_name> is the list of repositories, stored in a *.txt file in ./working_dir/repository_list (this path is REPOSITORY_LIST_PATH which is set in config.py). However, if you want to customize the execution by avoiding extraction of some tables, you should run:

python3 main.py <parameters>

Using the following parameters:
