Dependency License Management

This template includes a GitHub Actions workflow, licensed.yml, that uses Licensed to check for dependencies with missing or non-compliant licenses. This workflow is initially disabled. To enable the workflow, follow the below steps.

1. Open licensed.yml

2. Uncomment the following lines:

   # pull_request:
   #   branches:
   #     - main
   # push:
   #   branches:
   #     - main
   

3. Save and commit the changes

Once complete, this workflow will run any time a pull request is created or changes pushed directly to main. If the workflow detects any dependencies with missing or non-compliant licenses, it will fail the workflow and provide details on the issue(s) found.

Updating Licenses

Whenever you install or update dependencies, you can use the Licensed CLI to update the licenses database. To install Licensed, see the project's Readme.

To update the cached licenses, run the following command:

licensed cache

To check the status of cached licenses, run the following command:
