go-dependency-submission's Introduction

Go Dependency Submission

This GitHub Action calculates dependencies for a Go build-target (a Go file with a main function) and submits the list to the Dependency submission API. Dependencies then appear in your repository's dependency graph, and you'll receive Dependabot alerts and updates for vulnerable or out-of-date dependencies.

Example

name: Go Dependency Submission
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

# The API requires write permission on the repository to submit dependencies
permissions:
  contents: write

# Environment variables to configure Go and Go modules. Customize as necessary
env:
  GOPROXY: '' # A Go Proxy server to be used
  GOPRIVATE: '' # A list of modules are considered private and not requested from GOPROXY

        with:
            # Required: Define the repo path to the go.mod file used by the
            # build target
            go-mod-path: go-example/go.mod
            #
            # Optional: Define the path of a build target (a file with a
            # `main()` function) If not defined, this Action will collect all
            # dependencies used by all build targets for the module, which may
            # include Go dependencies used by tests and tooling.
