# Importing GitHub repositories

Once the integration of SonarQube Community Build with GitHub has been set up, you can import a GitHub repository to create the corresponding project in SonarQube Community Build. The so-created SonarQube Community Build project is "bound" to its GitHub repository. With a bound project, you can see in the SonarQube Community Build UI with which repository the project is associated.

To import a GitHub repository into SonarQube Community Build, do one of the following:

* Import the GitHub repository from the SonarQube Community Build UI: see below.\
  You need access to the GitHub repository and you need the **Create Projects** permission in SonarQube Community Build.
* Analyze a repository from a GitHub action. SonarQube Community Build will create the corresponding project in SonarQube Community Build and will automatically bind it to the GitHub repository if it finds a matching GitHub integration configuration in its database. See [Adding analysis to GitHub Actions workflow](/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/adding-analysis-to-github-actions-workflow.md).
