Writing clean code and maintaining it in high quality is essential for developers. Ensuring code quality is not just a best practice, it’s a responsibility too.

But how do we maintain the quality of code?

This is where static code analysis tools like SonarQube come in. With Github Actions we can automate the code analysis which enhances the maintainability and productivity.

It’s time to explore how! 🚀

Let’s first have some basic understanding of the tools.

What is SonarQube?

SonarQube is a static code analysis tool that helps to detect security vulnerabilities, errors, code quality, code coverage, and many more.

SonarQube Cloud is the cloud-based review tool of SonarQube. It is free for public projects and private projects with less than 50k lines.

What is Github Actions?

Github Actions is a feature offered by Github to automate and customize workflows.
