SonarQube for IDE

SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) by Sonar is a free, sophisticated static analysis tool that enhances both your code quality and security. Start analyzing your code early—as you write or generate it. Local analysis automatically identifies quality and security issues in real-time, even with AI-generated code. Then, fix any issues found using a QuickFix or the AI CodeFix feature before pushing to your SCM. This assures your code meets your quality standards and is safe for running in production.

Want to understand the "why" behind an issue? SonarQube for IDE goes beyond simply highlighting problems, providing detailed contextual information to level up your coding experience and acting as your personal coding tutor.

When connected to SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud (you can create a free SonarQube Cloud account to get started!), it becomes a powerful, unified code quality platform for your entire team throughout your software development lifecycle. This connection enables sharing of consistent language rulesets and project settings, and unlocks analysis of deeply hidden security issues, fostering collaboration and code uniformity.

SonarQube for IDE is the only extension you need in your JetBrains IDE for ensuring both code quality and security. It supports a wide range of languages, including C, C++, Java, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, Kotlin, Ruby, HTML, CSS, PHP, and PL/SQL. Please check out our documentation for the complete list of supported languages, rules and secret detection capabilities.
