CodeQL CLI: integrated support for uploading results to code scanning (from 3rd party CI systems) #198
Description
Summary
With the launch of Code Scanning, we also released the CodeQL Runner: a command-line tool that mimics functionality provided by the CodeQL Action, especially for users of 3rd party CI systems. The functionality of the CodeQL runner will be migrated into the native CodeQL CLI.
Intended Outcome
It will be much easier to set up CodeQL analysis for Code Scanning for those customers who rely on 3rd party CI/CD systems. Instead of downloading and installing an additional tool (the CodeQL Runner), customers can simply use the CodeQL CLI.
How will it work?
The CodeQL CLI already has a codeql github upload-results subcommand, which replaces the corresponding runner commands. We're working on multi-language support analysis and results upload, and multi-step build workflows support to get full feature parity between CodeQL Runner and CodeQL CLI.
