+### Code location in the console
+
+By default a console log line carries only the timestamp, the level and the message:
+
+```text
+2026-03-24 11:18:16.429 | INFO     | building ...
+```
+
+Pass `show_code_location=True` to prefix every line with the module, the function and the line number that logged it. This helps while debugging and is noise in a build log:
+
+```python
+setup_logger(show_code_location=True)
+```
+
+```text
+2026-03-24 11:18:16.429 | INFO     | my_app.builder:build:12 - building ...
+```
+
+The log file is not affected by this option. A log file is read for debugging, so it always keeps the code location.
