gh dependency-report $(whoami)
Profit! 💰 💸 🤑 💸 💰

Usage

Pulling manifests and dependencies including license info around repositories from GitHub's GraphQL API. This is only works for repositories that have enabled the dependency graph feature.

The result is a CSV that companies and individuals can use to attest to software licenses in use, making the jobs of platform engineering, legal, security, and auditors easier.

 $ gh dependency-report --help

Generate report of repository manifests and dependencies discovered through the dependency graph

Usage:
  gh-dependency-report [flags] owner [repo ...]

Flags:
  -d, --debug                Whether to debug logging
  -e, --exclude strings      Repositories to exclude from report
  -h, --help                 help for gh-dependency-report
  -o, --output-file string   Name of file to write CSV report (default "report-20220216081518.csv")

The resulting CSV file contains the most common information used for these purposes:

Owner

Examples:

andyfeller
github
cli

Repo

Name of the repository containing the manifest; does not duplicate owner information

Examples:

gh-dependency-report (for andyfeller/gh-dependency-report)
codeql (for github/codeql)
cli (for cli/cli)

Manifest

Fully qualified manifest filename

Examples:

go.mod

.github/workflows/release.yml

package.json

Exceeds Max Size

Is the manifest too big to parse?

Parseable

Were we able to parse the manifest?

Package Manager

The dependency package manager.

Examples:

ACTIONS

COMPOSER

GO

MAVEN

NPM

NUGET

PIP

RUBYGEMS

Dependency

The name of the package in the canonical form used by the package manager. This may differ from the original textual form (see packageLabel), for example in a package manager that uses case-insensitive comparisons.

Examples:

actions/checkout (actions)

github.com/spf13/cobra (go)

@actions/core (npm)

Has Dependencies?

Does the dependency itself have dependencies?

Requirements

The dependency version requirements.

License

Short identifier specified by https://spdx.org/licenses.

License Url

URL to the license on https://choosealicense.com.

The following is an example of a report generated around my own personal repositories:
