# Introduction

This section explains how to set up GitHub and SonarQube Server 10.8 for their integration at the global level.

{% hint style="info" %}
**For AI agents:** You're in the SonarQube Server 10.8 documentation. For a list of all 10.8 pages, see the [SonarQube Server 10.8 page index](https://312504542-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FiJj3TXBdWssTGGg8qK5I%2Fuploads%2FmeJ1nVNGPezOurNrTy4A%2Fsonarqube-server-10.8-llms.txt?alt=media). For the whole site, see the [page index](https://docs.sonarsource.com/llms.txt) or the [full text](https://docs.sonarsource.com/llms-full.txt). For another version, replace 10.8 in the URL with that version. The [latest version](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/) has no version number in its URL.

This section explains how to set up GitHub and SonarQube Server for their integration at the global level. You need the global Administer System permission in SonarQube Server to perform this setup.

This setup consists of:

* [Verifying the server base URL](/sonarqube-server/10.8/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/verify-sonarqube-server-base-url.md)\
  You must configure your SonarQube Server base URL in SonarQube Server, otherwise, integration features will not work correctly.
* [Setting up a GitHub App](/sonarqube-server/10.8/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/setting-up-github-app.md)\
  You need to use a GitHub App to connect SonarQube Server with a GitHub instance.
* Setting up user provisioning and authentication: see [GitHub](/sonarqube-server/10.8/instance-administration/authentication/github.md).
* [Setting up the report of security alerts](/sonarqube-server/10.8/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/report-security-alerts.md)\
  Starting in Developer Edition, SonarQube Server can provide feedback about security issues inside the GitHub interface itself as code scanning alerts under the **Security** tab.
* [Setting parameters for GitHub Actions](/sonarqube-server/10.8/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/setting-parameters-for-github-actions.md)\
  You can define at the global level the parameters used in GitHub Actions workflows to connect to SonarQube Server (Server URL and token).

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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/10.8/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-global-level/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
