PGScan Identify vs Publish

[dionc_5568]

What are the differences between running PGScan identify vs publish? The documentation here (https://github.com/Inedo/pgscan) makes it appear it's a version difference? I I just want pgscan to return usage data per project back to ProGet do I just need to use "identify"?

Hi @dionc_5568 ,

Great question; I've updated the documentation as follows:

Usage (CLI/tool)

Execute pgscan with the identify command. For example, to generate an SBOM and submit the dependencies of v1.0.0 the MyLibrary project to ProGet:

_
pgscan identify --input=MyLibrary.csproj --proget-url=https://proget.local --version=1.0.0
_

Note that the identify command requires ProGet 2022 and later. If you're using ProGet 6.0, you'll need to use the now-deprecated publish command; see the old version of this README to learn how.

Hopefully that makes it clear. But yes, please just use identify. It uses a different API that's much slower and will be removed in later versions of ProGet.
