## FAQ

### Does Depwire send my source code to the cloud?

No, the local CLI analyzes supported source files locally and never sends your source code or analysis to Depwire.

### What programming languages are supported?

Depwire supports 16 programming languages plus Angular templates, including TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, Ruby, and Dart.

### How does Depwire handle security scanning?

The security scanner runs local code checks and applicable dependency audits by default without requiring a Depwire API key.

### Can I simulate changes before applying them?

Yes, you can use the 'whatif' command to simulate operations like deleting, moving, renaming, splitting, or merging files to see the blast radius.
