List of Languages with Built-in Support

The table below lists all languages that are supported by ast-grep.

Alias is the name you can use as an argument in sg run --lang [alias] or as a value in YAML rule with language: [alias].

Extension specifies the file extensions that ast-grep will look for when scanning the file system. By default, ast-grep uses the file extensions to determine the language.
