Sourcetrail is a great software and I'm glad to see it became open-source. However, one key feature I think is missing is to generate and configure the projects from command line interface. The reason is that a more functional command line interface helps to automate the project generation and indexing process.
Imagine if I have a project doing nightly builds and I want to index a new codebase everyday automatically (with some kind of automation system), the best way is to utilize the command line interface. It makes the automation process much easier. And right now, I couldn't figure out a way to config a project with Clang compilation database source group from command line.
GUI operations are good, but I think command line interface is still necessary for scripting and automation in large production codebase.
Please consider prioritizing this feature and https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail/issues/649.

Thanks a lot!
