Code Scanning Alerts Workflow

This sample GitHub workflow demonstrates how the GitHub CLI can be used to retrieve and analyze results, displaying them as part of the build output using Markdown. Optionally, the workflow can use Bash scripting and the CLI to dynamically reset the status for dismissed alerts to open.

Additional features

The code also demonstrates:

• How to dynamically create environment variables for a job (by appending data to $GITHUB_ENV)
• Illustrates differences in behavior for ${{ env.variable }} expressions compared to using Bash $VARIABLE.
• Creating Markdown-based build outputs (using $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY)
• Using jq to process data
• Using @base64 to make it easier to process rows of data in Bash
