Your IDE is the best place to catch and fix coding issues, even in your AI-assisted code. Like a spell checker, SonarLint squiggles coding issues and enables you to code better by performing on-the-fly analysis to detect common mistakes, tricky bugs, and hotspots.
SonarLint is a free IDE plugin available to install from your IDE marketplace.
SonarLint easily integrates into your existing IDE workflow and helps you to commit with confidence. This includes support for cloud-based IDE environments such as GitHub Codespaces and GitPod.
Explore featuresPowerful language-specific analysis detects bugs, code smells, vulnerabilities plus hotspots and supports latest language standards. The large ruleset spans all attributes that contribute to the quality of code—reliability, maintainability, readability, security, and more.
On-the-fly analysis provides instant feedback as you code. More than just a linter, SonarLint highlights coding flaws, even in your AI-assisted code, and explains why the issue is harmful and how to fix it. "Quick fixes" intelligently suggest solutions adapted to your specific code so you can automatically repair flagged issues in real time.
Get coverage at every stage in your dev cycle—IDE to CI/CD and back, ensuring code fit for development and production. So much more than a linter, when 'connected' with SonarQube or SonarCloud, rules, and analysis settings are synchronized to SonarLint, aligning teams around a single standard of Clean Code.
The Sonar Community is a vibrant, interactive space where Sonar team members and community users get together to discuss all things Sonar. You’ll find detailed articles and technical discussions that cover the most common use cases, and some tricky ones. Plus, the Community is the place to collaborate on new features, provide feedback, and learn more from other developers.
