Here is [my project](https://sonarcloud.io/dashboard?id=firefly-iii_firefly-iii). Linked to my GitHub organisation. Simple question: how can I make Sonarcloud analyse the “develop” branch instead of the “main” branch?

Hi @JC5

For clarity : Do you want your develop branch to become the main branch of your repository ?

If yes, you can rename “main” to “develop” in the “Branches and pull request” menu under Administration of your project.
