 # GitHub Action for govulncheck
 
-This repository holds the GitHub Action for govulncheck. Govulncheck reports
-known vulnerabilities that affect Go code. It uses static analysis of source
-code or a binary's symbol table to narrow down reports to only those that could
-affect the application. You can read more about govulncheck at
-https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck.
