Importing your GitLab repositories into SonarQube Server

Once the integration of SonarQube Community Build with GitLab has been properly set up, you can import a GitLab repository to create the corresponding project in SonarQube Community Build. To do so, you need the Create Project permission in SonarQube Server. 

The so-created SonarQube Server project is "bound" to its GitLab repository. With a bound project:

• The project’s main branch name will be automatically set up from GitLab.
• From the Developer Edition: the quality gate status report to the merge requests will be automatically set up.

Importing one or several GitLab repositories

1. In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Server, select the Projects tab.
2. In the top right corner, select the Create Project > Import from DevOps platforms button.
3. In the Import from GitLab section, select Setup. The GitLab project onboarding page opens. 
   The repositories of the organization are listed on the page.
4. Select one or several repositories.
5. Select the Set up button to create the corresponding projects. The Projects page opens and displays the newly created projects at the top.

Importing a GitLab monorepo

Starting in Enterprise Edition, you can import a GitLab monorepo. See Managing the projects of a monorepo.
