Language and framework support

CodeQL CLI

You can now run CodeQL natively on Linux arm64. Download the CodeQL CLI and CodeQL bundle from the linux-arm64 per-platform release assets.

GitHub code scanning default setup can now use your organization’s private registry configurations to authenticate with container registries or the GitHub API when fetching custom queries or packs. This lets you use custom content from private Git sources and Docker registries.
