There are specific configuration options you can set for features that are only available for Sourcery Pro and Sourcery Team Users.

The detect clones feature is a tool that allows you to identify duplicate and near duplicate sections of code within a folder or file. You can configure the settings of the detect clones scan by specifying:

Minimum Number of Matching/Similar Lines

The minimum number of lines each code section must have to be picked up. The minimum value for this is 3.

For example:

clone_detection:
  min_lines: 3

Minimum Number of Duplicates

The minimum number of duplicate code sections there must be. The minimum value for this is 2.

For example:

clone_detection:
  min_duplicates: 2

Only Detect Identical Clones

When this is set only exactly identical sections of duplicate code will be picked up.. Similar sections of code will not be flagged

For example:

clone_detection:
  identical_clones_only: false
