Create a deny.toml file in the root of the repo to use as rules for the action (example). See cargo-deny for instructions and details of the format and capabilities.

This action will run cargo-deny check and report failure if any banned crates or disallowed open source licenses are found used in the crate or its dependencies.

The action has three optional inputs

• rust-version: The rust/cargo version to use, updated before cargo-deny is run. Defaults to the version in the image, which is currently 1.71.0.
• log-level: The log level to use for cargo-deny, default is warn
• command: The command to use for cargo-deny, default is check
• arguments: The argument to pass to cargo-deny, default is --all-features. See Common Options for a list of the available options.
• manifest-path: The path to a Cargo.toml file to use as the root. Defaults to ./Cargo.toml. Note this argument is always passed, so you can't have it in arguments as well, just set it it to the value you had in arguments if you were using it there.
• command-arguments The argument to pass to the command, default is emtpy. See options for each command.
• credentials This argument stores the credentials in the file $HOME/git-credentials, and configures git to use it. The credential must match the format https://user:pass@github.com
