Static analysis for GitHub Actions
Usage: zizmor [OPTIONS] <INPUT>...
Input Options:
<INPUT>...
The inputs to audit.
These can be individual workflow filenames, action definitions (typically `action.yml`), entire directories, or a `user/repo` slug for a GitHub repository. In the latter case, a `@ref` can be appended to audit the repository at a particular git reference state.
Use `-` to read a single input from stdin.
--collect <KIND>...
Control which kinds of inputs are collected for auditing.
By default, all workflows and composite actions are collected, while honoring `.gitignore` files.
Possible values:
- all: Collect all possible inputs, ignoring `.gitignore` files
- default: Collect all inputs, respecting `.gitignore` files
- workflows: Collect GitHub Actions workflows
- actions: Collect GitHub Actions action definitions (i.e. `action.yml`)
- dependabot: Collect Dependabot configuration files (i.e. `dependabot.yml`)
- pre-commit: Collect pre-commit configuration and hooks files, i.e. `.pre-commit-config.yaml` and `.pre-commit-hooks.yaml`
[default: default]
--strict-collection
Fail instead of warning on syntax and schema errors in collected inputs
Audit Options:
--fix[=<MODE>]
Fix findings automatically, when available (EXPERIMENTAL)
Possible values:
- safe: Apply only safe fixes (the default)
- unsafe-only: Apply only unsafe fixes
- all: Apply all fixes, both safe and unsafe
-p, --pedantic
Emit 'pedantic' findings.
This is an alias for --persona=pedantic.
--persona <PERSONA>
The persona to use while auditing
Possible values:
- auditor: The "auditor" persona (false positives OK)
- pedantic: The "pedantic" persona (code smells OK)
- regular: The "regular" persona (minimal false positives)
[default: regular]
--min-severity <LEVEL>
Filter all results below this severity
[possible values: informational, low, medium, high]
--min-confidence <LEVEL>
Filter all results below this confidence
[possible values: low, medium, high]
--no-ignores
Don't honor ignore comments or ignore rules in configuration
Output Options:
-v, --verbose...
Increase logging verbosity
-q, --quiet...
Decrease logging verbosity
--format <KIND>
The output format to emit. By default, cargo-style diagnostics will be emitted
Possible values:
- plain: cargo-style output
- json: JSON-formatted output (currently v1)
- json-v1: "v1" JSON format
- sarif: SARIF-formatted output
- github: GitHub Actions workflow command-formatted output
[default: plain]
--no-progress
Don't show progress bars, even if the terminal supports them
--color <WHEN>
Control the use of color in output
Possible values:
- auto: Use color output if the output supports it
- always: Force color output, even if the output isn't a terminal
- never: Disable color output, even if the output is a compatible terminal
--render-links <WHEN>
Whether to render OSC 8 links in the output.
This affects links under audit IDs, as well as any links produced by audit rules.
Only affects `--format=plain` (the default).
Possible values:
- auto: Render OSC 8 links in output if support is detected
- always: Always render OSC 8 links in output
- never: Never render OSC 8 links in output
[env: ZIZMOR_RENDER_LINKS=]
[default: auto]
--show-audit-urls <WHEN>
Whether to render audit URLs in the output, separately from any URLs embedded in OSC 8 links.
Only affects `--format=plain` (the default).
Possible values:
- auto: Render audit URLs in output automatically based on output format and runtime context
- always: Always render audit URLs in output
- never: Never render audit URLs in output
[env: ZIZMOR_SHOW_AUDIT_URLS=]
[default: auto]
--no-exit-codes
Disable all error codes besides success and tool failure
Network Options:
-o, --offline
Perform only offline operations.
This disables all online audit rules, and prevents zizmor from auditing remote repositories.
[env: ZIZMOR_OFFLINE=]
--gh-token <GH_TOKEN>
The GitHub API token to use [env: GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN or ZIZMOR_GITHUB_TOKEN]
--gh-hostname <GH_HOSTNAME>
The GitHub Server Hostname. Defaults to github.com
[env: GH_HOST=]
[default: github.com]
--no-online-audits
Perform only offline audits.
This is a weaker version of `--offline`: instead of completely forbidding all online operations, it only disables audits that require connectivity.
[env: ZIZMOR_NO_ONLINE_AUDITS=]
--cache-dir <DIR>
The directory to use for HTTP caching. By default, a host-appropriate user-caching directory will be used
Options:
--lsp
Run in language server mode (EXPERIMENTAL).
This flag cannot be used with any other flags.
-c, --config <FILE>
The configuration file to load. This loads a single configuration file across all input groups, which may not be what you intend
[env: ZIZMOR_CONFIG=]
--no-config
Disable all configuration loading
--completions <SHELL>
Generate tab completion scripts for the specified shell
Possible values:
- bash: Bourne Again `SHell` (bash)
- elvish: Elvish shell
- fish: Friendly Interactive `SHell` (fish)
- nushell: Nushell
- powershell: `PowerShell`
- zsh: Z `SHell` (zsh)
--thanks
Emit thank-you messages for zizmor's sponsors
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
