February 2026 Project Updates

I maintain a few Free / Open Source Software (FOSS) projects, most of which are hosted on GitHub under my GitHub.com/wesley-dean account. Here are the highlights:

1. upload-sarif-to-defectdojo now has cleaner documentation, better git branch detection, error messages, improved dry-run functionality, nicer missing SARIF file detection, and dependency detection and reporting.
2. aws_ssh_authentication_helper now has better documentation, far better dependency checking, safer username checking, much cleaner local group management, support for much wider distribution support (RHEL, Ubuntu, Alpine / Busybox), and improved documentation (security implications, installation support with user_data, etc.)
3. publish_image has been renamed (it was publish_container). The documentation is now better, there were a bunch of edge cases for less-used registries, improved detection of missing Dockerfiles, quick ending (with success) when there were no credentials or a Dockerfile found in the repo (should be safer for use in template repos), and cleaned up some some AWS account functionality.
