Codacy

Integrating Codacy with GitHub Actions allows you to automatically analyze your code for quality and compliance issues. Here's a detailed guide on how to add Codacy to your GitHub Actions workflow:

Prerequisites:

• You should have a GitHub repository where you want to integrate Codacy.

• You should have a Codacy account. If you don't, you can sign up for one at Codacy.

Step-by-Step Integration:

• Configure Codacy:

  1. Log in to your Codacy account.

  2. Create a new organization or select an existing one.

  3. Add your GitHub repository to Codacy by going to "Add New Repo" and selecting the repository you want to integrate. Codacy will provide you with a project token. Keep this token handy, as you'll need it later.

• Add the Codacy Token to GitHub Secrets:

  1. In your GitHub repository, go to the "Settings" tab.

  2. In the left sidebar, click on "Secrets."

  3. Click on the "New repository secret" button.

  4. Name the secret, CODACY_API_TOKEN, and paste the Codacy project token as the secret's value.

  5. Save the secret.

• Create or Edit GitHub Actions Workflow:

  1. In your GitHub repository, navigate to the .github/workflows directory. If it doesn't exist, you can create it.

  2. Inside this directory, create a new workflow file (e.g., codacy-analysis.yml) or edit an existing one.

  3. Add the following code to your GitHub Actions workflow file:

• With this configuration, the Codacy-CLI analysis will be triggered when there is a push to the main branch of your GitHub repository. If it's different, you can replace "main" with the name of your repository's main branch. Save the updated workflow file, commit the changes, and push them to your GitHub repository.
