# GitHub + Cloudsmith: Secure Your Software Supply Chain

## Secure every GitHub Build with Cloudsmith

GitHub and Cloudsmith help teams build and deliver software securely. Connect GitHub to Cloudsmith to automatically publish build artifacts, enforce security policies, scan for vulnerabilities, and distribute trusted packages through a streamlined CI/CD workflow.

## Better Together

GitHub is where your source code is stored, reviewed, and built. Cloudsmith is where the artifacts those builds produce are secured, governed, and distributed - often back into GitHub workflows.

Both platforms dance in tandem to secure your supply-chain, with GitHub securing the inner loop: your source code, and Cloudsmith securing the outer loop: the artifacts.

Github Actions

## Publish and govern every build output

Add the official Cloudsmith CLI Action to a GitHub Action workflow. Push built artifacts to a secure, policy-enforced Cloudsmith repository in a single step.

- All 30+ Cloudsmith formats
- Automatic security scans and license checks
- OIDC Authentication

Github secret scanning

## Keep leaked credentials from becoming a crisis

Cloudsmith is a GitHub secret scanning partner. GitHub scans all source code repositories for credential patterns at commit time; if a Cloudsmith API key is detected, GitHub automatically notifies Cloudsmith of the key, its source, and its location. 

- Cloudsmith API Keys detection
- Immediate action by revoking compromised credentials
- Prevents unauthorised access

Dependabot

## Manage dependency updates safely

Dependabot will detect new versions of a dependency and automatically raise a version upgrade pull request. With Cloudsmith cooldown and quarantine policies, a brand-new dependency version is held until it has cleared those restrictions — and only then does Dependabot open the PR.

- Automated dependency-updates
- Control the workflow with Cloudsmith
- OIDC Authentication

Github releases

## Treat GitHub-hosted assets as managed dependencies

Cloudsmith can proxy and cache binaries, scripts, and other files from GitHub Releases, moving them to a governed part of your internal supply chain rather than an external dependency. Artifacts are always available from the Cloudsmith cache even if the source repository is removed, goes private, or has an outage.

- Cache any public artifact dependencies
- Apply policies inline with your organization
- Central source of truth for all artifacts

[See GitHub Releases as an upstream](https://cloudsmith.com/changelog/proxy-and-cache-from-github-releases)

## Start shipping with confidence

Connect GitHub with Cloudsmith to automate package publishing, strengthen supply chain security, and deliver trusted artifacts from every build.
