# Setting up GitHub integration for your project

Setting up GitHub integration features for projects in SonarQube Server 2025.6.

## Setting up pull request integration <a href="#pull-request-integration" id="pull-request-integration"></a>

For bound projects (projects created by importing the GitHub repository), pull request decoration is supported in GitHub provided the pull request analysis has been properly set up in your project. See [Setting up the pull request analysis](/sonarqube-server/2025.6/analyzing-source-code/pull-request-analysis/setting-up-the-pull-request-analysis.md).

You can bind an existing and manually created project to its GitHub repository provided the global integration of SonarQube Server with GitHub has been properly set up. To do so, see [Changing your project binding](/sonarqube-server/2025.6/project-administration/maintaining-project/changing-project-binding.md).

## Disabling the analysis summary in GitHub Conversation tab <a href="#disable-summary-in-conversation-tab" id="disable-summary-in-conversation-tab"></a>

By default, SonarQube Server shows the analysis summary in the Conversation and Checks tab of your GitHub pull requests.

To disable the summary in the Conversation tab:

1. Retrieve your SonarQube Server project. For more information, see [Retrieving projects](/sonarqube-server/2025.6/user-guide/viewing-projects/retrieving-projects.md).
2. Go to **Project Settings** > **General Settings** > **DevOps Platform Integration.**
3. Unselect **Enable analysis summary under the GitHub Conversation tab**.

## Preventing pull request merges when the quality gate fails <a href="#preventing-pull-request-merges" id="preventing-pull-request-merges"></a>

In GitHub, you can block pull requests from being merged if it is failing the quality gate. To do this:

1. In GitHub, go to your repository **Settings** > **Branches** > **Branch protection rules** and select either the **Add rule** or **Edit** button if you already have a rule on the branch you wish to protect.
2. Complete the **Branch protection rule** form:
   * Define the **Branch name pattern** (the name of the branch you wish to protect)
   * Select **Require status checks to pass before merging** to open supplementary form fields.
   * In the **Search for status checks in the last week** for this repository field, select **Require branches to be up to date before merging**, then find `SonarQube Code Analysis` and add it to the list of required checks.

# Agent Instructions
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/2025.6/devops-platform-integration/github-integration/setting-up-at-project-level.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.
