# Consolidate results

How to use the consolidateResults command

## consolidateResults command

When you work with the SCM-Contributors-Count tool, you may work with more than one source control manager (SCM). You will run a separate command for each SCM to get the contributors count for your repos there.

For example: If you have a contributor that commits to both GitHub repos and Bitbucket projects, you'll see that contributor's details in the output for both SCMs.

If you want to get an overall picture of all your contributors across all the SCMs, use the `consolidateResults` command.

This command allows you to take multiple (`json`) outputs of `snyk-scm-contributors-count` commands for different SCMs and consolidate them into one file, with a unique contributors count and a total of the repos from all SCMs.

The following options are available for the `consolidateResults` command:

```
  --version                 Show version number                        [boolean]
  --help                    Show help                                  [boolean]
  --folderPath              Path to a folder containing the json outputs        [required]
```

## Running the commands

* Run the `snyk-scm-contributors-count` command for each repo with the `--json` flag and send the output to a designated folder, for example:

```
snyk-scm-contributors-count github --token TOKEN --json > PathToFolder/FileName
snyk-scm-contributors-count github-enterprise --token TOKEN --json > PathToFolder/OtherFileName
```

* Run the `consolidateResults` command and apply the `--folderPath` flag with the path to the designated, read/write accessible folder that contains the different output json files with the individual SCM results.

```
snyk-scm-contributors-count consolidateResults --folderPath PathToFolder
```

* The tool will then look for valid files in the folder, read the content of the files, create a new file with consolidated, unique results from all the files that have been read, and name the new file`consolidated-results.json`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-cli/scan-and-maintain-projects-using-the-cli/cli-tools/snyk-scm-contributors-count/consolidate-results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
