Creating and deleting projects

To be able to create a new project you need the corresponding permission.

You can create projects by importing your DevOps platform repositories. This way, the new projects are automatically bound to their respective repository, which has many advantages: see Organization and project binding. You can also create projects manually, but manually created projects are unbound.

Importing one or several repositories to SonarQube Cloud

1. On the top right of the SonarQube Cloud interface, select the ✚ (plus) menu and select Analyze new project. The Analyze projects page opens.
2. Select your organization
3. Select the repositories you want to import.
4. Select the Set up button. The Set up project for Clean as You Code page opens.

6. Select the Create project button. The project is created and the automatic analysis is started.

Creating a project manually
