Submit sbt dependencies to GitHub for vulnerability monitoring

[gu-dependency-graph-integrator]

What does this change?

This PR sends your sbt dependencies to GitHub for vulnerability monitoring via Dependabot. The submitted dependencies will appear in the Dependency Graph on merge to main (it might take a few minutes to update).

Why?

If a repository is in production, we need to track its third party dependencies for vulnerabilities. Historically, we have done this using Snyk, but we are now moving to GitHub’s native Dependabot. Scala is not a language that Dependabot supports out of the box, this workflow is required to make it happen. As a result, we have raised this PR on your behalf to add it to the Dependency Graph.

How has it been verified?

We have tested this workflow, and the process of raising a PR on DevX repos, and have verified that it works. However, we have included some instructions below to help you verify that it works for you. Please do not hesitate to contact DevX Security if you have any questions or concerns.

Further information for sbt

See the sbt workflow documentation for further information and configuration options.

What do I need to do?

• Ensure that the version of sbt in the project is v1.5 or above in order for the dependency submission action to run.
• A run of this action should have been triggered when the branch was created. Sense check the output of "Log snapshot for user validation", and make sure that your dependencies look okay.
• When you are happy the action works, remove the branch name sbt-dependency-graph-b69d335e5d5f44fc trigger from the the yaml file (aka delete line 6), approve, and merge.
