I'm using SonarCloud to quality control the code that I am writing on my open source project. I have a master (main branch) from which I have develop from which I make all of my feature branch.
SonarCloud is connected to my GitHub repo from which I can do all of my branch manipulation.
Develop is shown to be a short lived branch but I want to convert it to a long lived branch.
From the documentation that Sonar provides https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/branches/overview/ it says:
Once a branch type has been set, it cannot be changed. Explicitly, you cannot transform a long-lived to short-lived branch, or vice-versa.
I therefore want to:
- Delete all of the information that Sonar has about the branch.
- Change my "long lived branch regular expression" to mark develop as long lived.
- Get Sonar to re-analyse the code on my develop branch.
In order to do this I believe the only way is to delete the branch from Sonar BUT I don't want to delete my source code.
Can anyone confirm the functionality of this "Delete branch" feature? i.e. Does it delete your origin repo branch? thank you
