The HTTP proxy, built in Go, handles authentication when Dependabot connects to the GitHub API and private package registries. It supports multiple package managers (npm, Maven, Docker, Cargo, Helm, NuGet, pip, RubyGems, Terraform) and Git servers. Developers can now review the source code, submit bug fixes, add support for new ecosystems, and file issues. This transparency is particularly valuable for organizations with compliance requirements who need to audit their software supply chain tools. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
