## Supported languages and package managers
Dependency Scanning automatically detects the languages used in the repository. All analyzers
matching the detected languages are run. There is usually no need to customize the selection of
analyzers. We recommend not specifying the analyzers so you automatically use the full selection
for best coverage, avoiding the need to make adjustments when there are deprecations or removals.
However, you can override the selection using the variable `DS_EXCLUDED_ANALYZERS`.
The language detection relies on CI job [`rules`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#rules) and searches a
maximum of two directory levels from the repository's root. For example, the
`gemnasium-dependency_scanning` job is enabled if a repository contains either a `Gemfile` or
`api/Gemfile` file, but not if the only supported dependency file is `api/client/Gemfile`.
The following languages and dependency managers are supported:
