Creating your project

How to create and configure your project in SonarQube Community Build.

There are several ways to create a project in SonarQube Server:

• Import from DevOps Platforms: If your repository is hosted on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or BitBucket, you can import it to create your corresponding project in SonarQube Server (The so created project is bound to the DevOps platform repository). This way, you can benefit from the integration features out of the box.

• Local project: For a project not linked to a DevOps platform, you can create your SonarQube project manually.

• Automate through the API: Both methods mentioned above can be automated using the Web API.

• First scan: If none of the above is relevant, you can create a project by scanning it for the first time. In this case, the default configuration applies: default quality profile for each language, default quality gate, default visibility, a permissions template is applied if applicable, etc.

All the above methods require the Create Projects permission.
