# Creating and configuring your Azure DevOps project

Once the [Setting up Azure DevOps integration at global level](/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/azure-devops-integration/setting-up-integration-at-global-level.md) with Azure DevOps is complete, you can create your SonarQube Community Build project by importing your Azure DevOps repository. You can also create it manually but you won’t benefit from the integration features.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It’s highly recommended to create your SonarQube Community Build project before running your first analysis. Creating the project from the first analysis has side-effects (e.g., you can’t choose the main branch name).
{% endhint %}

## Importing your Azure DevOps repository <a href="#importing-azdo-repo" id="importing-azdo-repo"></a>

To import your repository, you need the Create Projects permission in SonarQube Community Build.

The so-created SonarQube Community Build project is "bound" to its Azure DevOps repository. With a bound project, you can see in the SonarQube Community Build UI with which repository the project is associated.

To import an Azure DevOps repository into SonarQube Community Build:

1. In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Community Build, select the **Projects** tab.
2. In the top right corner, select the **Create Project** > **From Azure DevOps** button.
3. If your instance has multiple Azure DevOps Integrations, select the **Azure** **DevOps configuration** from which you want to import your project.
4. Select the repository to be imported.

{% hint style="info" %}
SonarQube Community Build doesn’t support the import of Azure DevOps monorepos. See [Feature comparison table](/sonarqube-community-build/feature-comparison-table.md) to find out which SonarQube deployments support this feature.
{% endhint %}

## Creating your SonarQube Community Build project manually <a href="#creating-project-manually" id="creating-project-manually"></a>

You need the Create Project permission in SonarQube Community Build.

Proceed as follows:

1. In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Community Build, select the **Projects** tab.
2. In the top right corner, select the **Create Project** > **Local Project** button.

## Configuring the project analysis parameters <a href="#configuring-analysis-parameters" id="configuring-analysis-parameters"></a>

You can configure analysis parameters at different levels:

* In your build environment.
* In the `sonar-project.properties` file.
* In SonarQube Community Build UI.
* At the Azure pipeline level.\
  Parameters set at the pipeline level have precedence over parameters set at other levels.

For general information on setting up analysis parameters at the global and project levels, see [Analysis parameters](/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/analysis-parameters.md) and the respective SonarScanner section: [SonarScanner for Maven](/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-maven.md), [SonarScanner for Gradle](/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-gradle.md), [Configuring the scanner](/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/dotnet/configuring.md), or [SonarScanner CLI](/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/azure-devops-integration/creating-your-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
