Installation

  • Install from the Visual Studio Marketplace when published.
  • Or install a downloaded .vsix file via the command palette: Extensions: Install from VSIX....

Usage

  1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P).
  2. Run Generate Report.
  3. Choose the report scope:
    • Organization — fetch alerts across all repos in an organization.
    • Single repository — enter owner/repo.
  4. Choose which alert states to include: open, dismissed, fixed.
  5. View the generated report in the report panel.
  6. Run Save Report to File… to save the report as HTML, Markdown, or CSV.

Default saved filename pattern: code-scanning-<scope>-YYYY-MM-DD.html (or .md/.csv).

Authentication & Permissions

  • The extension uses VS Code's GitHub authentication flow.
  • It requires access to the target repository and the GitHub security_events permission.
  • If authorization fails, sign in to GitHub through VS Code and ensure the account has repository access.

Troubleshooting

  • If no alerts appear, the repository/org may not have code scanning alerts or your account may not have permission.
  • If authentication fails, sign in to GitHub in VS Code or use a token with appropriate access.
  • If the report fails to save, verify that you have write permission in the selected folder.
