## **Introduction**

**Codacy** is an automated code review tool that integrates seamlessly with GitHub and other version control platforms. It performs static code analysis, identifies code smells, and enforces best practices to streamline development workflows.

## **Steps to Set Up Codacy**

### **1. Create an Account**
1. Visit [Codacy](https://www.codacy.com/) and sign up using your **GitHub** account.
- Grant the necessary permissions for Codacy to access your repositories.
2. After authorization, you will be redirected to the Codacy dashboard.

---

### **2. Add Your Repository**
1. On the Codacy dashboard, click **"Add a repository"**.
2. Select the repository (**Learning-Codacy**) you want Codacy to analyze.
- Ensure Codacy has the required access permissions.
3. Codacy will perform an initial scan and generate a baseline report.

---

### **3. Test with Deliberate Code Issues**
To test Codacy’s capabilities, include intentional errors in your code, such as naming inconsistencies, duplication, or missing error handling. Observe how Codacy detects and reports these issues.

---

### **4. Integrate Codacy with GitHub**
1. Enable GitHub integration in Codacy:
- Go to **Settings > Integrations** in your Codacy dashboard.
- Activate **GitHub Status Checks** to view analysis results directly in your pull requests.
2. Once integrated, Codacy will provide feedback automatically during your development process.

---

## Analysis and Evaluation

### **Benefits of Integration**

- **Automatic Code Reviews**: Save time by automating style and complexity checks.
- **Feedback in Pull Requests**: View issues directly in GitHub pull requests.
- **Customizable Rules**: Focus on the metrics that matter most for your project.
- **Improved Code Quality**: Maintain consistent standards across your team.

### **Example Workflow**

1. Developer submits a pull request.
2. CodeFactor/Codacy analyzes the code changes.
3. Issues and suggestions are displayed directly in the pull request.
4. Developer resolves the issues before merging.

### **Troubleshooting**

- **Analysis Not Triggering**: Ensure the repository is public or that the service has access to your private repository.
