# 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. 


### Example workflow
This workflow uses the [Microsoft sbom-tool](https://github.com/microsoft/sbom-tool). 
```yaml

name: SBOM upload

  workflow_dispatch:
