Upload the specified package.json and lock files for JavaScript, Python, and

Supports globbing such as **/package.json, **/requirements.txt,
**/pyproject.toml, and **/go.mod.
Ignores any file specified in your project's .gitignore, the
projectIgnorePaths in your project's
socket.yml and on top of that has
a sensible set of
default ignores

All aliases support the flags and arguments of the commands they alias.
socket ci - alias for socket report create --view --strict which creates a
report and quits with an exit code if the result is unhealthy. Use like eg.
socket ci . for a report for the current folder--view - when set on socket report create the command will immediately do
a socket report view style view of the created report, waiting for the
server to complete it--json - outputs result as json which you can then pipe into
jq and other tools--markdown - outputs result as markdown which you can then copy into an
issue, PR or even chat--all - by default only high and critical issues are included, by
setting this flag all issues will be included--strict - when set, exits with an error code if report result is deemed
unhealthy--dry-run - like all CLI tools that perform an action should have, we have a
dry run flag. Eg. socket report create supports running the command without
actually uploading anything--debug - outputs additional debug output. Great for debugging, geeks and us
who develop. Hopefully you will never need it, but it can still be fun,
right?--help - prints the help for the current command. All CLI tools should have
this flag--version - prints the version of the tool. All CLI tools should have this
flagThe CLI reads and uses data from a
socket.yml file in the folder you
run it in. It supports the version 2 of the socket.yml file format and makes
use of the projectIgnorePaths to excludes files when creating a report.
SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY - if set, this will be used as the API-keySOCKET_SECURITY_API_BASE_URL - if set, this will be the base for all
API-calls. Defaults to https://api.socket.dev/v0/SOCKET_SECURITY_API_PROXY - if set to something like
http://127.0.0.1:9090,
then all request will be proxied through that proxy@socketsecurity/sdk - the SDK
used in this CLIFAQs
