About the project

A CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images, filesystems, and archives. Supports many packaging ecosystems and output formats (CycloneDX, SPDX).

Useful for
  • Generate an SBOM for a Docker image in CycloneDX format
  • Scan a project directory and get a dependency list in SPDX
  • Pass the SBOM to Grype for vulnerability scanning

1.5 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 3, 2026, 13:16 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0815August 6, 2026November 3, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-03 (UTC), 00:39–13:09: 9816 → 9819 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +6 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @zricethezav (998 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 56. -12% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
