history

Project history and usage

cyclonedx-gomod is the CycloneDX command-line generator for Go modules, applications, and Go binaries.

Project history

The repository was created in March 2021, during the period when CycloneDX was moving from its original SBOM format toward richer supply-chain metadata. Its early releases established the Go-specific generator role, while later versions tracked newer CycloneDX specification versions and Go build-model details.

Adoption history

The official CycloneDX tool center lists CycloneDX for Go modules as an open-source command-line utility and Go library, and the README documents Homebrew, GitHub release binaries, and go install as installation paths. That combination made it a natural fit for CI, GoReleaser, and distribution workflows.

How it is used

cyclonedx-gomod offers app, mod, and bin subcommands so users can choose between SBOMs for built applications, whole modules, or existing Go binaries. It accounts for Go build constraints such as GOARCH, GOOS, CGO_ENABLED, and GOFLAGS when producing application SBOMs.

Why package nerds care

For package managers and release engineers, cyclonedx-gomod is interesting because Go's module graph, build tags, and embedded module metadata affect what should appear in an SBOM; the tool encodes those Go-specific rules instead of treating Go projects as generic source trees.

Timeline

  • 2021: Repository created and v0.1.0 released.
  • 2024: Releases tracked CycloneDX 1.6-era output support.
  • 2026: v1.10.0 release line remained active.

Related projects

  • Related CycloneDX tools include cyclonedx-cli for BOM manipulation and cyclonedx-python for Python environments and manifests.
