Importing your GitHub repositories into SonarQube
On this page
Once the integration of SonarQube with GitHub has been properly set up, you can import a GitHub repository to create the corresponding project in SonarQube. The so-created SonarQube project is "bound" to its GitHub repository. With a bound project:
- You can see in the SonarQube UI with which repository the project is associated.
- The quality gate status report to GitHub on pull requests is automatically set up.
- The report of security alerts to GitHub can be set up.
To import a GitHub repository into SonarQube, do one of the following:
- Import the GitHub repository from the SonarQube UI: see below.
You need access to the GitHub repository and you need the Create Projects permission in SonarQube. - Analyze a repository from a GitHub action. SonarQube will create the corresponding project in SonarQube and will automatically bind it to the GitHub repository if it finds a matching GitHub integration configuration in its database. See Adding a SonarQube analysis to your GitHub Actions workflow.
