Setting up GitHub integration features at the project level

This section explains how to set up various GitHub integration features for a given project.

Showing your analysis summary under the GitHub Conversation tab

For bound projects, the pull request analysis can also be shown under the Conversation tab in addition to the Checks tab in GitHub. 

To show the analysis summary of a bound project in GitHub also under the Conversation tab:

• In Project settings > General settings > Enable analysis summary under the GitHub Conversation tab, make sure that the Enable analysis summary under the GitHub Conversation tab option is on (default value). 

Reporting your quality gate status in GitHub for unbound projects

On projects bound to their GitHub repository, SonarQube Server automatically sets up the report of your quality gate status and analysis metrics directly to your GitHub pull requests. For unbound projects, you must set up the quality gate status manually as explained below.

SonarQube Server can also report your quality gate status to GitHub pull requests for existing and manually created projects provided the integration of SonarQube Server with GitHub has been properly set up. Proceed as follows:

1. In the SonarQube Server project page, select Project Settings > General Settings > DevOps Platform Integration.
2. Set:
   • Configuration name: The name of your GitHub instance's Configuration record set in Step 3 of Setting up a GitHub App to integrate SonarQube Server with GitHub (Ask your admin.). 
   • Repository identifier: The path of your repository URL.
