A GitHub Action that takes SPDX SBOMs and uploads them to GitHub's dependency submission API to power Dependabot alerts

SPDX to Dependency Graph Action

This repository makes it easy to upload an SPDX SBOM to GitHub's dependency submission API. This lets you quickly receive Dependabot alerts for package manifests which GitHub doesn't directly support like pnpm or Paket by using existing off-the-shelf SBOM generators.

This workflow uses the Microsoft sbom-tool.
