PatchWave Dependency Checkup

How much is Dependabot costing your team?

A free, read-only CLI that measures your Dependabot backlog, your unpatched CVEs, and the engineering hours they take. No PatchWave account needed.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://patchwave.ai/analyze.sh)"

Run it in your terminal. It walks you through GitHub access.

A sample checkup report for an org called acme: about 131 engineering hours a year on Dependabot PRs, 102 updates still open for 74 days on average, and 7 unpatched vulnerabilities.

What you get.

  • Your open Dependabot PRs, how old they are, and how long merges take
  • Repositories stalled at Dependabot’s open PR limit
  • Unpatched security alerts by severity, with the oldest critical and high ones
  • Engineering hours spent each year, with assumptions you can adjust
  • How much of that time PatchWave would save

Safe to run.

  • Read-only: it calls the GitHub API and never writes to it
  • Reads no file contents from your repositories
  • The report is a single HTML file that stays on your machine
  • Open source, with signed binaries built by GitHub Actions
