• I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/dependency-graph/dependency-submission?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-snapshot-of-dependencies-for-a-repository

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Something should explain how to resolve:

{
  "message": "The Dependency graph is disabled for this repository. Please enable it before submitting snapshots.",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/dependency-graph/dependency-submission#create-a-snapshot-of-dependencies-for-a-repository",
  "status": "404"
}

Additional information

There's an action, it triggers this API call, which yielded the above error. The link is to a document that doesn't explain how to do the thing

• [REST] Get a diff of the dependencies between commits doesn't mention you have to enable it #22555 is related but apparently not the same

Yes, this has to be copied to the internal repository.
