Abhängigkeitsdiagramm unterstützte Paket-Ökosysteme

About the dependency graph

The dependency graph is a summary of the manifest and lock files stored in a repository and any dependencies that are submitted for the repository using the dependency submission API. For each repository, it shows:

• Dependencies, the ecosystems and packages it depends on
• Dependents, the repositories and packages that depend on it

For each dependency, you can see the license information and vulnerability severity. You can also search for a specific dependency using the search bar. Dependencies are sorted automatically by vulnerability severity.

For more information, see "About the dependency graph."

In this article, you can see what the supported ecosystems are.

Supported package ecosystems

The recommended formats explicitly define which versions are used for all direct and all indirect dependencies. If you use these formats, your dependency graph is more accurate. It also reflects the current build set up and enables the dependency graph to report vulnerabilities in both direct and indirect dependencies. Indirect dependencies that are inferred from a manifest file (or equivalent) are excluded from the checks for insecure dependencies.

Package manager	Languages	Recommended formats	All supported formats
Cargo	Rust	Cargo.lock	Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock
Composer	PHP	composer.lock	composer.json, composer.lock
NuGet	.NET languages (C#, F#, VB), C++	.csproj, .vbproj, .nuspec, .vcxproj, .fsproj	.csproj, .vbproj, .nuspec, .vcxproj, .fsproj, packages.config
GitHub Actions workflows	YAML	.yml, .yaml	.yml, .yaml
Go modules	Go	go.mod	go.mod
Maven	Java, Scala	pom.xml	pom.xml
npm	JavaScript	package-lock.json	package-lock.json, package.json
pip	Python	requirements.txt, pipfile.lock	requirements.txt, pipfile, pipfile.lock, setup.py
pnpm	JavaScript	pnpm-lock.yaml	package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml
pub	Dart	pubspec.lock	pubspec.yaml, pubspec.lock
Python Poetry	Python	poetry.lock	poetry.lock, pyproject.toml
RubyGems	Ruby	Gemfile.lock	Gemfile.lock, Gemfile, *.gemspec
Swift Package Manager	Swift	Package.resolved	Package.resolved
Yarn	JavaScript	yarn.lock	package.json, yarn.lock

For ecosystems that resolve transitive dependencies at build-time, we recommend configuring dependency submission to automatically submit these dependencies to the dependency graph. For more information, see "Configuring automatic dependency submission for your repository."

Package ecosystems supported via dependency submission actions

You can use the dependency submission API to add build-time dependencies to the dependency graph, or to add dependencies from package managers and ecosystems of your choice to the dependency graph, even if the ecosystem is not in the supported ecosystem list above. Dependency information from these submitted dependencies will, in turn, flow into Dependabot updates and Dependabot alerts.

Dependencies submitted to a project using the dependency submission API will show which detector was used for their submission and when they were submitted. For more information on the dependency submission API, see "Using the dependency submission API."

You typically use the dependency submission API in a GitHub Actions workflow to submit dependencies for your project when your project is built. The simplest way to use the dependency submission API is by adding a pre-made action to your repository that will gather and convert the list of dependencies to the required snapshot format and submit the list to the API. You can find links to the currently available actions in the table below.

Ecosystem	Action
Go	Go Dependency Submission
Gradle	Gradle Dependency Submission
Maven	Maven Dependency Tree Dependency Submission
Mill	Mill Dependency Submission
Scala	Sbt Dependency Submission
NuGet and others	Component Detection dependency submission action

For example, the following Go Dependency Submission workflow calculates the dependencies for a Go build-target (a Go file with a main function) and submits the list to the dependency submission API.

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
jobs:
  go-action-detection:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout Repository'
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: ">=1.18.0"

      - name: Run snapshot action
        uses: actions/go-dependency-submission@v1
        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 repo path of a build target,
            # a file with a `main()` function.
            # If undefined, this action will collect all dependencies
            # used by all build targets for the module. This may
            # include Go dependencies used by tests and tooling.
            go-build-target: go-example/cmd/octocat.go

You can also create your own action. For more information, see "Using the dependency submission API."
