Choosing the delivery method for security alerts for vulnerable dependencies

If your repository has a supported dependency manifest, whenever GitHub Enterprise detects a vulnerable dependency in your repository, you will receive a weekly digest email. You can also configure your security alerts as web notifications, individual email notifications, daily email digests, or alerts in the GitHub Enterprise interface. For more information, see "About alerts for vulnerable dependencies."

Your site administrator must enable security alerts for vulnerable dependencies for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance before you can use this feature. For more information, see "Enabling security alerts for vulnerable dependencies on GitHub Enterprise Server."

1. In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
   
2. In the user settings sidebar, click Notifications.
   
3. Under "Security alerts", configure how you would like to receive notifications when GitHub Enterprise detects a vulnerable dependency in your repository:
   
   • Selecting UI alerts displays a banner in the GitHub Enterprise interface.
   • Selecting Command Line displays warnings as a callback when you push to a repository with vulnerabilities.
   • Selecting Web allows you to access the notifications on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.
   • Selecting Email each time a vulnerability is found sends an email to your default notification email.
   • Selecting Email a digest summary of vulnerabilities sends a digest email with a summary of up to 10 repositories' security alerts. Use the drop-down menu to choose to receive digest emails daily or weekly.
