## What it is
A community plugin for SonarQube Community Edition that enables branch analysis and pull request decoration, features normally reserved for commercial editions. It is version-locked to matching SonarQube releases and installed as a JAR plus webapp patch.

## Use cases
- enable branch analysis in SonarQube Community Edition
- decorate pull requests with SonarQube quality gate results
- get per-branch code quality reports without paying for SonarQube Developer Edition
- show SonarQube analysis comments on GitHub or GitLab pull requests
- run static analysis on feature branches in CI

## When to choose
- you run SonarQube Community Edition and need branch or PR analysis
- you want commercial-edition branch features without licensing costs
- your CI pipeline should fail or comment on PRs based on quality gates

## When to avoid
- you plan to migrate to a commercial SonarQube edition, as data compatibility is untested
- you need official SonarSource support
- you run a SonarQube version without a matching plugin release
