About the dependency graph
The dependency graph is a summary of the manifest and lock files stored in a repository. 对于每个仓库，它显示 依赖项，即它所依赖的生态系统和包。 GitHub Enterprise Server 不计算有关依赖项、仓库和依赖于仓库的包的信息。
When you push a commit to GitHub Enterprise Server that changes or adds a supported manifest or lock file to the default branch, the dependency graph is automatically updated. For information on the supported ecosystems and manifest files, see "Supported package ecosystems" below.
Dependency graph availability
Enterprise owners can configure the dependency graph and Dependabot 警报 for an enterprise. For more information, see "Enabling the dependency graph for your enterprise" and "Enabling Dependabot for your enterprise."
Dependencies included
The dependency graph includes all the dependencies of a repository that are detailed in the manifest and lock files, or their equivalent, for supported ecosystems. This includes:
- Direct dependencies, that are explicitly defined in a manifest or lock file
- Indirect dependencies of these direct dependencies, also known as transitive dependencies or sub-dependencies
The dependency graph identifies indirect dependencies from the lock files.
For more information on how GitHub Enterprise Server helps you understand the dependencies in your environment, see "About supply chain security."
Using the dependency graph
You can use the dependency graph to:
- Explore the repositories your code depends on. For more information, see "Exploring the dependencies of a repository."
- View and update vulnerable dependencies for your repository. For more information, see "About Dependabot 警报."
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.
| Package manager | Languages | Recommended formats | All supported formats |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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[‡] |
| RubyGems | Ruby | Gemfile.lock | Gemfile.lock, Gemfile, *.gemspec |
| Yarn | JavaScript | yarn.lock | package.json, yarn.lock |
[‡] If you list your Python dependencies within a setup.py file, we may not be able to parse and list every dependency in your project.
