What does SonarQube GitHub Actions integration do?

It runs static code analysis on every push and PR, catching bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells automatically via GitHub workflows.

How do I set up SonarQube with GitHub Actions?

Add SONAR_TOKEN secret, create sonar-project.properties, and deploy the sonarqube-scan-action YAML – full copy-paste in the guide above.

Free tier for public repos; paid plans start cheap for private ones with unlimited scans and PR decoration.
