DIsplaying data for multiple branches of the same repo

[pentago]

We're planning to implement SBOM generation across all branches of our organization repos.

Since these will be parameterized in Github Actions workflow, something like this below, can DT web UI display data for multiple branches within the same project view somehow via branch selector or similar?

      - name: Uploading SBOMs
        uses: DependencyTrack/[email protected]
        with:
          autocreate: true
          apikey: ${{ secrets.DEPENDENCY_TRACK_API_KEY }}
          serverhostname: 'some_domain.com'
          projectname: ${{ github.repository }}
          projectversion: ${{ github.ref_name }}
          bomfilename: sbom.json

Thanks!

Great.

Yes and no. Each branch would need to be its own version. However, since these branches represent no actual risk to the company unless they are deployed, the metrics (project, portfolio, etc) will not be accurate. So if your risk managers are looking for DT to provide insight on the operational risk, DT would not be able to help due to the setup.

However, this will get better once #374 is implemented. You'll be able to use DT for analyzing SBOMs in a pipeline and if the branch does not represent risk to the organization, you'll be able to do so transiently.
