# the name by which the project can be referenced within Serena
project_name: "geheim"
# list of languages for which language servers are started; choose from:
# al bash clojure cpp csharp
# csharp_omnisharp dart elixir elm erlang
# fortran fsharp go groovy haskell
# java julia kotlin lua markdown
# matlab nix pascal perl php
# php_phpactor powershell python python_jedi r
# rego ruby ruby_solargraph rust scala
# swift terraform toml typescript typescript_vts
# vue yaml zig
# (This list may be outdated. For the current list, see values of Language enum here:
# https://github.com/oraios/serena/blob/main/src/solidlsp/ls_config.py
# For some languages, there are alternative language servers, e.g. csharp_omnisharp, ruby_solargraph.)
# Note:
# - For C, use cpp
# - For JavaScript, use typescript
# - For Free Pascal/Lazarus, use pascal
# Special requirements:
# Some languages require additional setup/installations.
# See here for details: https://oraios.github.io/serena/01-about/020_programming-languages.html#language-servers
# When using multiple languages, the first language server that supports a given file will be used for that file.
# The first language is the default language and the respective language server will be used as a fallback.
# Note that when using the JetBrains backend, language servers are not used and this list is correspondingly ignored.
languages:

# For a list of possible encodings, see https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings

# * `check_onboarding_performed`: Checks whether project onboarding was already performed.
# * `create_text_file`: Creates/overwrites a file in the project directory.
# * `delete_lines`: Deletes a range of lines within a file.
# * `delete_memory`: Deletes a memory from Serena's project-specific memory store.
# * `execute_shell_command`: Executes a shell command.

# * `insert_after_symbol`: Inserts content after the end of the definition of a given symbol.
# * `insert_at_line`: Inserts content at a given line in a file.
# * `insert_before_symbol`: Inserts content before the beginning of the definition of a given symbol.
