Get Dependabot Alerts

This repo contains sample Node.js code for pulling all Dependabot alerts for a GitHub Organization or Repo using Octokit.

Installation

1. Rename env to .env. Set the following environment variables:
   GH_TOKEN=(Your personal access token)
   GH_ORG=(Your GitHub organization name)

If you are only interested in Dependabot alerts for a single GitHub repository, also set the following environment variable:
GH_REPO=(Your repo)

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Run the script:

npm start

Output

• dependabot-alerts.json gets generated with all the Dependabot alerts for the GitHub Organization.
• If GH_REPO gets specified, REPONAME-dependabot-alerts.json gets generated with all the Dependabot alerts for the GitHub repo.
