Hi,  
Assuming my code repo is hosted on GitHub.  
I am wondering if SonarCloud will clone the repo for analysis and keep it in SonarCloud server so that I can view it in “Code” section.

May I ask you why this criteria is important to you? Is it for legal reasons?  
Thanks in advance.

It’s not an important. Just trying to research about the software.  
Thanks for your concern.
