Initiating a Scan

New users are entitled to scan each repository up to five times a day. Existing WhiteSource customers have the scan limitations that are set in their account agreement with WhiteSource.  

A scan is initiated via a valid GitHub 'push' command. A valid 'push' command meets at least one of the following requirements:

  • One of the commits in the 'push' command include added file(s) that have an extension supported by WhiteSource and/or one of the commits in the 'push' command included a removal of file(s) that have an extension supported by WhiteSource. Refer to the WhiteSource Languages page in order to find out whether or not a specific language and its extensions are supported. 

  • One of the commits in the 'push' command includes a modification in the package manager configuration file(s). This includes any of the following files:
    • build.gradle
    • pom.xml
    • setup.py
    • requirements.txt
    • Gemfile.lock
    • package.json
    • bower.json
    • Gopkg.lock
    • Godeps.lock
    • vendor.conf
    • gogradle.lock
    • glide.lock
    • composer.json
    • build.sbt
    • paket.dependencies
    • Any metafile with one of the following extensions: 

      • config
      • csproj
      • htm
      • html
      • shtml

Initiating a Merge Policy

A merge policy utilizes the app's integration with GitHub Checks API. It enables the repository's administrator to approve the merging of a pull request with 'Failed' commit statuses to a target branch in the repository. 
For more information on Checks API, see the related GitHub Checks API introduction page.

Prerequisite for the Merge Policy: Add a Branch Protection Rule
