Pull Request Diff

When the Bearer action is being used to check a pull request, you can tell the action to only report findings introduced within the pull request by setting the diff input parameter to true.

name: Bearer PR Check

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened]

permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  rule_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Run Report
        id: report
        uses: bearer/bearer-action@v2
        with:
          diff: true

See our guide on configuring a scan for more information on differential scans.
