Integrating CodeClimate with a GitHub project

CodeClimate describes itself this way, “We run static and automated analysis on your Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, PHP (beta), or Python (beta) codebase, and then present you with easy-to-read, actionable findings.”

Using CodeClimate to get a feel for your code quality and areas to improve is a good idea, and very easy to integrate with an existing GitHub repo. Here’s what I did for my Ruby Rails project.

1. Go to https://codeclimate.com and click “Sign Up with GitHub” at the top.
   • 
2. It will ask you to confirm that you want to allow communication between CodeClimate and your GitHub repo.
3. From the CodeClimate Dashboard (https://codeclimate.com/dashboard) click on “Add Open Source Repo”. You can also add private repositories, but that requires a paid account with CodeClimate.
   • 
4. Enter the name of your repository
   • 
5. CodeClimate will analyze the project end email you when it is ready to be viewed.

You can also easily integrate test coverage:
