SonarQube is a go-to tool for many large companies due to its long-standing reputation in code coverage and SAST (Static Application Security Testing). While its free community version is robust, it requires hosting, forcing engineers to commit code to get scan results. This often ties the process to CI setups like Jenkins or GitHub Actions, resulting in unnecessary commits.
To streamline this, I’ve developed Sonarless – a CLI tool that eliminates the need for a centrally hosted SonarQube instance. Designed for DevOps and App engineers, Sonarless works seamlessly on Linux and Mac and includes its own GitHub Action. This allows for effortless code scanning without the overhead of managing a dedicated server.
