Welcome Semmle to the GitHub family

GitHub has announced the integration of Semmle, a semantic code analysis engine, to enhance the security of the open source supply chain. Semmle enables developers to identify code patterns and search for vulnerabilities through simple declarative queries, which has already been trusted by organizations like Uber, NASA, Microsoft, and Google. Its community-driven approach allows security researchers to share their findings, thereby improving safety across various codebases. GitHub emphasizes that software security requires collective effort, as no single entity can secure the entire open source ecosystem. This partnership aims to provide developers with the necessary tools and infrastructure to create and consume open source software securely, with further insights available from GitHub's SVP of Product, Shanku Niyogi, and additional resources on Semmle's blog.
