However, we always recommend you start by manually indexing your repo - locally using the [approriate - indexer](/code-navigation/writing-an-indexer#quick-reference) for your - language. Code and build systems can vary by project and ensuring you can - first succesfully run the indexer locally leads to a smoother experience - since it is vastly easier to debug and iterate on any issues locally before - trying to do so in CI/CD or in Auto-Indexing. + Auto-indexing is a fast way to get started, but for complex or + authenticated builds we recommend [running SCIP indexing in your CI + pipeline](/code-navigation/how-to/adding-scip-to-workflows). This reuses + your existing build configuration and secrets, delivering more reliable, + repeatable precise code navigation. For best results, verify the indexer + runs successfully on your machine first, then add it as a CI job. 1. **Manual indexing**. Index a repository and upload it to your Sourcegraph instance:
