How it Works

CE Library Wizard automates the complex process of adding libraries to Compiler Explorer by:

1. Managing GitHub forks and branches automatically
2. Running language-specific ce_install commands
3. Updating configuration files in both required repositories
4. Creating linked pull requests

See Architecture Documentation for details.
