# GitLab License Management

[![pipeline status](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/license-management/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/license-management/commits/master)
[![coverage report](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/license-management/badges/master/coverage.svg)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/license-management/commits/master)

GitLab tool for detecting licenses of the dependencies used by the provided source.
It is currently based on License Finder only, but this may change in the future.

## How to use

1. `cd` into the directory of the source code you want to scan
1. Run the Docker image:

    ```sh
    docker run \
      --volume "$PWD":/code \
      --rm \
      registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/license-management:latest analyze /code
    ```

1. The results will be stored in the `gl-license-management-report.json` file in the application directory. `gl-license-management-report.html` is also available with a human readable report.

## Development

### Running the application

License Management is a Docker image, you can build it like any Docker image like so in the
project root:

```sh
docker build -t license-management .
```

You can then run License Management on some target directory:

```sh
docker run --rm --volume "/path/to/my/project":/code license-management analyze /code
```

You can run integration tests on the image like this:

```sh
docker run --rm license-management /test/test.sh
```
