JFrog and GitHub Integration create a unified platform experience that empowers developers, DevOps, and security professionals to build, manage, and secure software faster and more efficiently.

The integration of JFrog and GitHub brings together JFrog’s artifact management and security scanning capabilities with GitHub’s version control and collaborative features.

By leveraging the strengths of JFrog and GitHub, we aim to deliver a comprehensive DevSecOps solution that accelerates software development and delivery while ensuring robust security and compliance.

Empower Code Management with Security and AI

  • Maximize Code Security: When you push code to GitHub, JFrog Frogbot performs a scan before merging. Powered by Xray and JFrog Advanced Security, this scan detects exposed secrets and malware in dependencies. If vulnerabilities are found, Frogbot alerts you and can automatically create pull requests with suggested fixes, preventing risky code changes. All findings are integrated into the GitHub Advanced Security dashboard, helping with compliance and offering security insights.

  • Smart Use of Open-Source Packages: The JFrog GitHub Copilot Extension integrates JFrog Catalog data with GitHub Copilot Chat, allowing developers to interact with artifact information and receive real-time security updates about packages directly within their development environment.

Implementing Quality Gates Early in the Build Process

  • Secure GitHub Actions with JFrog Artifactory: GitHub Actions pipelines traditionally use long-lived credentials for Artifactory access, posing security risks. By switching to OIDC and integrating with JFrog Artifactory Access Management, long-lived credentials are replaced with short-lived tokens. This improves security, automates credential management, and makes your CI/CD pipeline more efficient.

  • Comprehensive Insights with JFrog Job Summary: During the build process, the JFrog Job Summary feature provides an overview of build artifacts, including security scans and compliance checks. This feature ensures that only secure and compliant artifacts proceed, with full traceability from build to release.

From Code to Production and Back

The integration offers comprehensive oversight into production environments. With the ability to trace running binaries back to their source code, you gain visibility into production.
