How do I generate and store SBOMs for Branching strategies artifacts?

Generating and storing Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) is essential for managing the dependencies of software artifacts in a branching strategy. An SBOM provides transparency and helps enhance security by detailing the components that comprise a piece of software.

To generate SBOMs for artifacts in branching strategies, you can follow these steps:

• Use tools like Syft, CycloneDX, or SPDX to generate the SBOM.
• Integrate the SBOM generation into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically create SBOMs whenever a new artifact is built.
• Store the SBOMs in a versioned manner alongside your artifacts to maintain an accurate history.
• Consider using a centralized repository or database to make SBOMs easily accessible for auditing and compliance purposes.
