Importing your GitHub repositories into SonarQube Community Build

Once the integration of SonarQube Community Build with GitHub has been properly 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.
• The quality gate status report to GitHub on pull requests is automatically set up.

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 a SonarQube Community Build analysis to your GitHub Actions workflow.
