Using code search to add repositories to a custom list
You can use code search directly in the CodeQL extension on VSCode to add a subset of repositories from GitHub.com to a custom list. Note that this feature uses the legacy code search via the code search API. For more information on the syntax to use, see "`Searching code (legacy) <https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-code>`__."

For example, to add all repositories in the `rails` organization on GitHub, you can search `org:rails`.

+
Custom lists can contain a maximum of 1000 repositories, so at most only the first 1000 repositories returned from your search will be added to your list.

It is possible that some of the resulting repositories do not have CodeQL databases or are not accessible. When you run an analysis on the list, the results view will show you which repositories could not be analyzed.
