Setting parameters used by GitHub Actions

You can define at the global level the parameters used in GitHub Actions workflows to connect to the SonarQube Community Build (Server URL and token). To do so, you use GitHub secrets at the organization level: see GitHub's documentation on Encrypted secrets for more information.

   • Value: the token you generated in the previous step.

Storing the SonarQube Community Build URL in GitHub at the global level
