-# Description
-
-Please include a summary of the changes along with any relevant motivation and context,
-or link to an issue where this is explained.
-
-<!-- If this completes an issue, please include: -->
-
- Fixes
-
-## Type of change
-
-<!-- Delete any that are not relevant -->
-
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (please discuss with the team first; Syft is 1.0 software and we won't accept breaking changes without going to 2.0)
- [ ] Documentation (updates the documentation)
- [ ] Chore (improve the developer experience, fix a test flake, etc, without changing the visible behavior of Syft)
- [ ] Performance (make Syft run faster or use less memory, without changing visible behavior much)
-
-# Checklist:
-
- [ ] I have added unit tests that cover changed behavior
- [ ] I have tested my code in common scenarios and confirmed there are no regressions
- [ ] I have added comments to my code, particularly in hard-to-understand sections

-## Our Pledge
-
-We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
-community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
-identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
-and orientation.
-
-We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
-diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
-
-## Our Standards
-

-community include:
-
-* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
-* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
-* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
-  and learning from the experience
-* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
-  overall community

-or harmful.
-
-Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
-comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
-not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
-decisions when appropriate.
-
-## Scope
-
-This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
-an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.

-posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event.
-
-## Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
-[opensource@anchore.com](mailto:opensource@anchore.com).

 ```

+### Supported sources
+
+Syft can generate an SBOM from a variety of sources including images, files, directories, and archives. Syft will attempt to
+determine the type of source based on provided input, for example:
+
+```bash
+# catalog a container image archive (from the result of `docker image save ...`, `podman save ...`, or `skopeo copy` commands)
+syft path/to/image.tar
+
+# catalog a Singularity Image Format (SIF) container
+syft path/to/image.sif
+
+# catalog a directory
+syft path/to/dir
+```
+
+To explicitly specify the source behavior, use the `--from` flag. Allowable options are:
+
+```
+docker             use images from the Docker daemon
+podman             use images from the Podman daemon
+containerd         use images from the Containerd daemon
+docker-archive     use a tarball from disk for archives created from "docker save"
+oci-archive        use a tarball from disk for OCI archives (from Skopeo or otherwise)
+oci-dir            read directly from a path on disk for OCI layout directories (from Skopeo or otherwise)
+singularity        read directly from a Singularity Image Format (SIF) container on disk
+dir                read directly from a path on disk (any directory)
+file               read directly from a path on disk (any single file)
+registry           pull image directly from a registry (no container runtime required)
+```
+If a source is not provided and Syft identifies the input as a potential image reference, Syft will attempt to resolve it using:
+the Docker, Podman, and Containerd daemons followed by direct registry access, in that order.
+
+This default behavior can be overridden with the `default-image-pull-source` configuration option (See [Configuration](#configuration) for more details).
+
+
+### File selection
+
+By default, Syft will catalog file details and digests for files that are owned by discovered packages. You can change this behavior by using the `SYFT_FILE_METADATA_SELECTION` environment variable or the `file.metadata.selection` configuration option. The options are:
+
+- `all`: capture all files from the search space
+- `owned-by-package`: capture only files owned by packages (default)
+- `none`: disable capturing any file information
+
+
+### Package cataloger selection
+
+#### Concepts
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> Syft uses a different set of catalogers by default when scanning files directly than it does when scanning images
+
+The catalogers for an image scan assumes that package installation steps have already been completed. For example, Syft will identify Python packages that have egg or wheel metadata files under a `site-packages` directory, since this is how the canonical tooling `pip` installs python packages.
+
+The catalogers for a directory scan will look for installed software as well as declared dependencies that are not necessarily installed. For example, dependencies listed in a Python `requirements.txt`.
+
+This default set of catalogers being dynamic is critical as this allows Syft to be used in a variety of contexts while still generating accurate SBOMs.
+Overriding the set of default catalogers is not recommended for most purposes, however, is possible if needed.
+
+Catalogers can be referenced in two different ways:
+- *by name*: the exact cataloger name (e.g. `java-pom-cataloger` or `java-archive-cataloger`)
+- *by tag*: a tag that is associated with a cataloger (e.g. `java`)
+
+Syft can take lists of references on the CLI or in the application configuration to define which catalogers to use.
+
+You can **set** the list of catalogers explicitly to use with the `--override-default-catalogers` CLI flag, accepting a comma-separated list of cataloger names or tags.
+
+You can also **add** to, **remove** from, or **sub-select** catalogers to use within the default set of catalogers by using the `--select-catalogers` CLI flag.
+  - To **sub-select** catalogers simply provide a tag (e.g. `--select-catalogers TAG`). Catalogers will always be selected from the default set of catalogers (e.g. `--select-catalogers java,go` will select all the `java` catalogers in the default set and all the `go` catalogers in the default set).
+  - To **add** a cataloger prefix the cataloger name with `+` (e.g. `--select-catalogers +NAME`). Added catalogers will _always be added_ regardless of removals, filtering, or other defaults.
+  - To **remove** a cataloger prefix the cataloger name or tag with `-` (e.g. `--select-catalogers -NAME_OR_TAG`). Catalogers are removed from the set of default catalogers after processing any sub-selections.
+
+These rules and the dynamic default cataloger sets approximates to the following logic:
+
+```
+image_catalogers = all_catalogers AND catalogers_tagged("image")
+
+directory_catalogers = all_catalogers AND catalogers_tagged("directory")
+
+default_catalogers = image_catalogers OR directory_catalogers
+
+sub_selected_catalogers = default_catalogers INTERSECT catalogers_tagged(TAG) [ UNION sub_selected_catalogers ... ]
+
+base_catalogers = default_catalogers OR sub_selected_catalogers
+
+final_set = (base_catalogers SUBTRACT removed_catalogers) UNION added_catalogers
+```
+
+
+#### Examples
+
+Only scan for python related packages with catalogers appropriate for the source type (image or directory):
+```bash
+syft <some container image> --select-catalogers "python"
+# results in the following catalogers being used:
+# - python-installed-package-cataloger
+```
+
+Same command, but the set of catalogers changes based on what is being analyzed (in this case a directory):
+```bash
+syft <a directory> --select-catalogers "python"
+# results in the following catalogers being used:
+# - python-installed-package-cataloger
+# - python-package-cataloger
+```
+
+Use the default set of catalogers and add a cataloger to the set:
+```bash
+syft ... --select-catalogers "+sbom-cataloger"
+```
+
+Use the default set of catalogers but remove any catalogers that deal with RPMs:
+```bash
+syft ... --select-catalogers "-rpm"
+```
+
+Only scan with catalogers that:
+- are tagged with "go"
+- always use the sbom-cataloger
+- are appropriate for the source type (image or directory)
+
+```bash
+syft <some container image> --select-catalogers "go,+sbom-cataloger"
+# results in the following catalogers being used:
+# - go-module-binary-cataloger
+# - sbom-cataloger
+```
+
+Scan with all catalogers that deal with binary analysis, regardless of the source type:
+```bash
+syft ... --override-default-catalogers "binary"
+# results in the following catalogers being used:
+# - binary-cataloger
+# - cargo-auditable-binary-cataloger
+# - dotnet-portable-executable-cataloger
+# - go-module-binary-cataloger
+```
+
+Only scan with the specific `go-module-binary-cataloger` and `go-module-file-cataloger` catalogers:
+```bash
+syft ... --override-default-catalogers "go-module-binary-cataloger,go-module-file-cataloger"
+```
+
+
+### Excluding file paths
+
+Syft can exclude files and paths from being scanned within a source by using glob expressions
+with one or more `--exclude` parameters:
+```
+syft <source> --exclude './out/**/*.json' --exclude /etc
+```
+**Note:** in the case of _image scanning_, since the entire filesystem is scanned it is
+possible to use absolute paths like `/etc` or `/usr/**/*.txt` whereas _directory scans_
+exclude files _relative to the specified directory_. For example: scanning `/usr/foo` with
+`--exclude ./package.json` would exclude `/usr/foo/package.json` and `--exclude '**/package.json'`
+would exclude all `package.json` files under `/usr/foo`. For _directory scans_,
+it is required to begin path expressions with `./`, `*/`, or `**/`, all of which
+will be resolved _relative to the specified scan directory_. Keep in mind, your shell
+may attempt to expand wildcards, so put those parameters in single quotes, like:
+`'**/*.json'`.

+Syft also includes a vast array of utility templating functions from [sprig](http://masterminds.github.io/sprig/) apart from the default Golang [text/template](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template#hdr-Functions) to allow users to customize the output format.

-## Syft Logo
+Lastly, Syft has custom templating functions defined in `./syft/format/template/encoder.go` to help parse the passed-in JSON structs.

+> [!NOTE]
+> If you have templates being used before Syft v0.102.0 that are no longer working. This is because templating keys were relative to the internal go structs before this version whereas now the keys are relative to the Syft JSON output. To get the legacy behavior back you can set the `format.template.legacy` option to `true` in your configuration.
+
+## Multiple outputs
+
+Syft can also output _multiple_ files in differing formats by appending
+`=<file>` to the option, for example to output Syft JSON and SPDX JSON:
+
+```shell
+syft <image> -o syft-json=sbom.syft.json -o spdx-json=sbom.spdx.json
+```
+
+## Private Registry Authentication
+
+### Local Docker Credentials
+When a container runtime is not present, Syft can still utilize credentials configured in common credential sources (such as `~/.docker/config.json`). It will pull images from private registries using these credentials. The config file is where your credentials are stored when authenticating with private registries via some command like `docker login`. For more information see the `go-containerregistry` [documentation](https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/main/pkg/authn).
+
+An example `config.json` looks something like this:
+```json
+{
+	"auths": {
+		"registry.example.com": {
+			"username": "AzureDiamond",
+			"password": "hunter2"
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+You can run the following command as an example. It details the mount/environment configuration a container needs to access a private registry:
+
+```
+docker run -v ./config.json:/config/config.json -e "DOCKER_CONFIG=/config" anchore/syft:latest  <private_image>
+```
+
+### Docker Credentials in Kubernetes
+
+Here's a simple workflow to mount this config file as a secret into a container on Kubernetes.
+
+1. Create a secret. The value of `config.json` is important. It refers to the specification detailed [here](https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/tree/main/pkg/authn#the-config-file). Below this section is the `secret.yaml` file that the pod configuration will consume as a volume. The key `config.json` is important. It will end up being the name of the file when mounted into the pod.
+
+    ```yaml
+    # secret.yaml
+
+    apiVersion: v1
+    kind: Secret
+    metadata:
+      name: registry-config
+      namespace: syft
+    data:
+      config.json: <base64 encoded config.json>
+    ```
+
+   `kubectl apply -f secret.yaml`
+
+
+2. Create your pod running syft. The env `DOCKER_CONFIG` is important because it advertises where to look for the credential file. In the below example, setting `DOCKER_CONFIG=/config` informs syft that credentials can be found at `/config/config.json`. This is why we used `config.json` as the key for our secret. When mounted into containers the secrets' key is used as the filename. The `volumeMounts` section mounts our secret to `/config`. The `volumes` section names our volume and leverages the secret we created in step one.
+
+    ```yaml
+    # pod.yaml
+
+    apiVersion: v1
+    kind: Pod
+    metadata:
+      name: syft-k8s-usage
+    spec:
+      containers:
+        - image: anchore/syft:latest
+          name: syft-private-registry-demo
+          env:
+            - name: DOCKER_CONFIG
+              value: /config
+          volumeMounts:
+          - mountPath: /config
+            name: registry-config
+            readOnly: true
+          args:
+            - <private_image>
+      volumes:
+      - name: registry-config
+        secret:
+          secretName: registry-config
+    ```
+
+   `kubectl apply -f pod.yaml`
+
+
+3. The user can now run `kubectl logs syft-private-registry-demo`. The logs should show the Syft analysis for the `<private_image>` provided in the pod configuration.
+
+Using the above information, users should be able to configure private registry access without having to do so in the `grype` or `syft` configuration files.  They will also not be dependent on a Docker daemon, (or some other runtime software) for registry configuration and access.
+
+## Format conversion (experimental)
+
+The ability to convert existing SBOMs means you can create SBOMs in different formats quickly, without the need to regenerate the SBOM from scratch, which may take significantly more time.
+
+```
+syft convert <ORIGINAL-SBOM-FILE> -o <NEW-SBOM-FORMAT>[=<NEW-SBOM-FILE>]
+```
+
+This feature is experimental and data might be lost when converting formats. Packages are the main SBOM component easily transferable across formats, whereas files and relationships, as well as other information Syft doesn't support, are more likely to be lost.
+
+We support formats with wide community usage AND good encode/decode support by Syft. The supported formats are:
+- Syft JSON (```-o syft-json```)
+- SPDX 2.2 JSON (```-o spdx-json```)
+- SPDX 2.2 tag-value (```-o spdx-tag-value```)
+- CycloneDX 1.4 JSON (```-o cyclonedx-json```)
+- CycloneDX 1.4 XML (```-o cyclonedx-xml```)
+
+Conversion example:
+```sh
+syft alpine:latest -o syft-json=sbom.syft.json # generate a syft SBOM
+syft convert sbom.syft.json -o cyclonedx-json=sbom.cdx.json  # convert it to CycloneDX
+```
+
+## Attestation (experimental)
+### Keyless support
+Syft supports generating attestations using cosign's [keyless](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/blob/main/KEYLESS.md) signatures.
+
+Note: users need to have >= v1.12.0 of cosign installed for this command to function
+
+To use this feature with a format like CycloneDX json simply run:
+```
+syft attest --output cyclonedx-json <IMAGE WITH OCI WRITE ACCESS>
+```
+This command will open a web browser and allow the user to authenticate their OIDC identity as the root of trust for the attestation (Github, Google, Microsoft).
+
+After authenticating, Syft will upload the attestation to the OCI registry specified by the image that the user has write access to.
+
+You will need to make sure your credentials are configured for the OCI registry you are uploading to so that the attestation can write successfully.
+
+Users can then verify the attestation(or any image with attestations) by running:
+```
+COSIGN_EXPERIMENTAL=1 cosign verify-attestation <IMAGE_WITH_ATTESTATIONS>
+```
+
+Users should see that the uploaded attestation claims are validated, the claims exist within the transparency log, and certificates on the attestations were verified against [fulcio](https://github.com/SigStore/fulcio).
+There will also be a printout of the certificates subject `<user identity>` and the certificate issuer URL: `<provider of user identity (Github, Google, Microsoft)>`:
+```
+Certificate subject:  test.email@testdomain.com
+Certificate issuer URL:  https://accounts.google.com
+```
+
+### Local private key support
+
+To generate an SBOM attestation for a container image using a local private key:
+```
+syft attest --output [FORMAT] --key [KEY] [SOURCE] [flags]
+```
+
+The above output is in the form of the [DSSE envelope](https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/dsse/blob/master/envelope.md#dsse-envelope).
+The payload is a base64 encoded `in-toto` statement with the generated SBOM as the predicate. For details on workflows using this command see [here](#adding-an-sbom-to-an-image-as-an-attestation-using-syft).
+
+
+
+## Configuration

+
+### Adding an SBOM to an image as an attestation using Syft
+
+`syft attest --output [FORMAT] --key [KEY] [SOURCE] [flags]`
+
+SBOMs themselves can serve as input to different analysis tools. [Grype](https://github.com/anchore/grype), a vulnerability scanner CLI tool from Anchore, is one such tool. Publishers of container images can use attestations to enable their consumers to trust Syft-generated SBOM descriptions of those container images. To create and provide these attestations, image publishers can run `syft attest` in conjunction with the [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) tool to attach SBOM attestations to their images.
+
+#### Example attestation
+Note for the following example replace `docker.io/image:latest` with an image you own. You should also have push access to
+its remote reference. Replace `$MY_PRIVATE_KEY` with a private key you own or have generated with cosign.
+

 # Release

-A release of syft comprises:
- a new semver git tag from the current tip of the main branch
- a new [github release](https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases) with a changelog and archived binary assets
- docker images published to `ghcr.io` and `dockerhub`, including multi architecture images + manifest
- [`anchore/homebrew-syft`](https://github.com/anchore/homebrew-syft) tap updated to point to assets in the latest github release
-
-Ideally releasing should be done often with small increments when possible. Unless a
-breaking change is blocking the release, or no fixes/features have been merged, a good
-target release cadence is between every 1 or 2 weeks.

@@ -37,3 +32,81 @@ If a release is found to be problematic, it can be retracted with the following
 in the go proxy, which will cause confusion when trying to reuse the tag later (the H1 hash will not match and there
 will be a warning when users try to pull the new release).

+
+## Background
+
+A good release process has the following qualities:
+
+1. There is a way to plan what should be in a release
+1. There is a way to see what is actually in a release
+1. Allow for different kinds of releases (major breaking vs backwards compatible enhancements vs patch updates)
+1. Specify a repeatable way to build and publish software artifacts
+
+
+### Planning a release
+
+To indicate a set of features to be released together add each issue to an in-repository
+Milestone named with major-minor version to be released (e.g. `v0.1`). It is OK for other
+features to be in the release that were not originally planned, and these issues and PRs
+do not need to be added to the Milestone in question. Only the set of features that, when
+completed, would allow the release to be considered complete. A Milestone is only used to:
+
+- Plan what is desired to be in a release
+- Track progress to indicate when we may be ready to cut a new release
+
+Not all releases need to be planned. For instance, patch releases for fixes should be
+released when they are ready and when releasing would not interfere with another current
+release (where some partial or breaking features have already been merged).
+
+Unless necessary, feature releases should be small and frequent, which may obviate the
+need for regular release planning under a Milestone.
+
+
+### What is in a release
+
+Milestones are specifically for planning a release, not necessarily tracking all changes
+that a release may bring (and more importantly, not all releases are necessarily planned
+either).
+
+This is one of the (many) reasons for a Changelog. A good Changelog lists changes grouped
+by the type of change (new, enhancement, deprecation, breaking, bug fix, security fix), in
+chronological order (within groups), linking the PR where the change was made in the
+Changelog line. Furthermore, there should be a place to see all released versions, the
+release date for each release, the semantic version of the release, and the set of changes
+for each release.
+
+**This project auto-generates the Changelog contents for each current release and posts the
+generated contents to the GitHub Release page**. Leveraging the GitHub Releases feature
+allows GitHub to manage the Changelog on each release outside of the git source tree while
+still being hosted with the released assets.
+
+The Changelog is generated from the metadata from in-repository issues and PRs, using
+labels to guide what kind of change each item is (e.g. breaking, new feature, bug fix,
+etx). Only issues/PRs with select labels are included in the Changelog, and only if the
+issue/PR was created after the last release. Additional labels are used to exclude items
+from the Changelog.
+
+The above suggestions imply that we should:
+
+- Ensure there is a sufficient title for each PR and issue title to be included in the
+  Changelog
+- The appropriate label is applied to PRs and/or issues to drive specific change type
+  sections (deprecated, breaking, security, bug, etc)
+
+**With this approach as we cultivate good organization of PRs and issues we automatically
+get an equally good Changelog.**
+
+
+### Major, minor, and patch releases
+
+The latest version of the tool is the only supported version, which implies that multiple
+parallel release branches will not be a regular process (if ever). Multiple releases can
+be planned in parallel, however, only one can be actively developed at a time. That is, if
+PRs attached to a release Milestone have been merged into the main branch, that release is
+now the "next" release. **This implies that the source of truth for release lies with the
+git log and Changelog, not with the release Milestones** (which are purely for planning and
+tracking).
+
+Semantic versioning should be used to indicate breaking changes, new features, and fixes.
+The exception to this is `< 1.0`, where the major version is not bumped for breaking changes,
+instead the minor version indicates both new features and breaking changes.
