We have a rather large existing project which we have recently integrated with Sonar Cloud.
Given that there are a large amount of fixes that need doing we would like to create a dedicated Branch ( SonarCloud/baseline) from this we will create branches from here in which we can make incremental fixes to and test in isolation. Once testing is accepted we will merge this back to Dev.
We would like to have our Main Branch be the (SonarCould/baseline) branch… is this possible?
If this isn’t possible is there a way to get a branch to do a full anyalsis rather than what I normally see on a branch which is the changes as part of the commit?

No, this is not doable once the main branch has been already set up.

Yes there is. You may consider making your ‘baseline’ branch a long lived branch. This can be configured in SonarCloud through branch name patterns. I encourage you to check this documentation page for details.
Note however, that the Automatic Analysis method does not cover branches though (except for the main one). I don’t know if this is your set-up or not.
