{% ifversion fpt or ghes > 3.1 or ghae-next %} If the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_cli %} is unsuitable for use in your CI system, the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_runner %} is available as an alternative. Typically, this is needed if the CI system would need to orchestrate compiler invocations as well as running {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis. For more information, see "Running {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_runner %} in your CI system." {% endif %}

{% ifversion ghes = 3.1 %} You will need to use the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_runner %} if you need to:

• Set up the CI system to orchestrate compiler invocations as well as running {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis.
• Analyze more than one language in a repository. {% endif %}
