# Defining projects

A set of parameters useful to override information about projects and to provide further control of specific details associated to projects and analysis.

**`--project-url`** 

Allow to specify a project URL to associate to this analysis. Please note that this does not have to strictly be an URL, it's possible to use any name that's unique in your account. 

Default: loaded from git if the folder being scanned is versioned otherwise the name of the folder is picked instead. 

Example: `--project-url=https://svn.theforge.com/hubba/logos`

**`--project-branch`** 

Allow to specify a project branch to associate to this analysis. Analysis on different branches are kept segregated.

Default: "head" or otherwise loaded from git if the folder being scanned is versioned 

Example: `--project-branch=latest`

**`--project-commit`** 

Allow to specify a commit id to associate to this analysis. This is used just for reference. 

Default: loaded from git if available 

Example: `--project-commit=9460cabbf623945495e6108c9d1979a9e7b5d8e7`

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meterian.io/iac-scanner/command-line-parameters/defining-projects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
