The dependency-submission action

Generates and submits a dependency graph for a Gradle project, allowing GitHub to alert about reported vulnerabilities in your project dependencies.

The following workflow will generate a dependency graph for a Gradle project and submit it immediately to the repository via the Dependency Submission API. For most projects, this default configuration should be all that you need.

Simply add this as a new workflow file to your repository (eg .github/workflows/dependency-submission.yml).

name: Dependency Submission

on:
  push:
    branches: ['main']

permissions:
  contents: write

jobs:
  dependency-submission:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
