Workflow file for this run

# This workflow uses this repository's own action (see `create-matrix` job
# below) to auto-populate the CodeQL language matrix from the languages
# detected in this repository. Dogfooding the action here means that any
# future change to the action's code (main.py, Dockerfile, action.yml, etc.)
# is exercised by this workflow, so it doubles as a CI check for the action
# itself in addition to scanning this repository's own code.

# CodeQL supports the following values keywords for 'language': 'actions', 'c-cpp', 'csharp', 'go', 'java-kotlin', 'javascript-typescript', 'python', 'ruby', 'rust', 'swift'
# Use `c-cpp` to analyze code written in C, C++ or both
# Use 'java-kotlin' to analyze code written in Java, Kotlin or both
# Use 'javascript-typescript' to analyze code written in JavaScript, TypeScript or both
