Summary

SonarQube has integrated its Code Assurance workflow with GitHub's AI coding assistant, GitHub Copilot, allowing developers to use the tool without worrying about code quality. The integration auto-detects and reviews GitHub projects for AI-generated code from Copilot, spotting potential issues and providing actionable insights. With this feature, developer teams can increase productivity while keeping their codebase clean and secure. To get started, a SonarQube administrator must enable access to the GitHub API, set permissions in the SonarQube GitHub App, and configure quality gates for AI Code Assurance. Once set up, Sonar will proactively mark projects with a CONTAINS AI CODE status badge when it detects Copilot usage, and run the code through its analysis workflow on subsequent analyses, providing a clean and secure codebase.
