+# socket-export-sbom
+
+Composite action (step) to get the latest scan id for a repo enrolled in the socket.dev GitHub App and then fetch the spdx sbom from socket using the latest scan id.
+
+A good use case is including this sbom as part of a public repo's release artifacts when creating a new release
+
