Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing limited access to and information about software in source code repositories in order to facilitate software development while maintaining information security and confidentiality. Source code in the repositories can be processed to extract, parse, normalize, and store metadata regarding the software in a source code database during preprocessing or on-demand if not previously processed. User interfaces and API(s) are provided to enable technologists and administrators to search for, retrieve, and manage metadata for source code and source code information in databases and repositories. Collectors and data analytic processors can mine source code and generate metadata regarding the source code stored in the repositories. Novel logical architectures, platforms, graphical user interfaces, and methods are disclosed.
