Understand your software’s supply chain with GitHub’s dependency graph
The GitHub dependency graph maps every direct and transitive dependency in your project, so you can identify risks, prioritize fixes, and keep your code secure.
Supply chain security
In today’s interconnected development environment, a single vulnerability in any component of the supply chain poses a threat. Find out how GitHub’s security alerts, code scanning, secret scanning, and dependency management features can help you avoid supply chain security issues. You can also check out our documentation to learn more about supply chain security on GitHub.
