 **Private** GitHub repository
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-    scrutinized and refined when they are used to configure a private repository.

-In GitHub
-"""""""""
-A GitHub Admin will need to:
-
-#. Add the individual 'PRIVATE_SONAR_TOKEN' to the 'Organization secrets'
-#. Activate the `exasonarqubeprchecks App <https://github.com/apps/exasonarqubeprchecks>`__
-#. **Post-merge**: update the branch protections to include SonarQube analysis.
-
-  * This should only be done when tests exist for the project, & that the project is
-    at a state in which enforced code coverage would not be a burden. If you do
-    not enact branch protections, it is recommended to create an issue to do so later.
-
-In Sonar
-""""""""
-An IT Admin will need to:
-
-#. Create a project on https://sonar.exasol.com
-
-  * Project key should follow this pattern, e.g. ``com.exasol:python-toolbox``
-

-In the code

-    .. code-block:: python
