A manual project in Continuous Accessibility refers to a project that is not automatically set up by linking it with a repository hosting service like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps. Instead, it requires manual configuration.
Click on the "+" button on the top right corner of the dashboard. Select "Add repository manually." Enter a unique project name and main branch of your repository. Optionally enable URL Parameters and add Page URL templates then click Create Project. A new project will be created.
By following these steps, you can manually set up and analyze a project in SonarCloud. This method is useful when your project is not hosted on a supported repository hosting service or when you prefer to have more control over the configuration process.
To complete the setup for your project, you should navigate to the setup instructions. Choose your end-to-end testing framework and your build environment from the choices. Continuous Accessibility will guide you through a tutorial on how to set all this up.
Once it is complete, you can view the results of your first analysis.
