1.Pull project from git using hudson.

2.Sonar on hudson will analyse the code and send the updates.?

or directly we can use git+sonar how it works ,can anybody guide me to get it work.

Answer 1

Yes, you need first to pull your project from GitHub, and then launch a Sonar analysis on your local copy (Sonar needs the file to exist on the file system to be able to analyse them).

So you can pull your project manually or obvioulsy using a CI server like Jenkins/Hudson.

Answer 2

The good news, yesterday (2015-07-08) SonarQube has launched a Github Pluging, every time a pull request is submitted, the CI system launches a SonarQube preview analysis.
