What is SonarQube GitHub Actions integration?

It's plugging SonarQube's static analyzer into GitHub workflows for auto-scans on pushes/PRs, catching bugs early.

SonarQube GitHub Actions vs SonarCloud?

SonarCloud is hosted, simpler setup, PR decos built-in. Self-hosted SonarQube needs your server, more control, potential costs.

Does SonarQube GitHub Actions work for monorepos?

Yes, but configure project keys, base dirs per subproject, cache wisely to avoid scanning everything every time.
