# GitHub Code Quality is now generally available

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 2 min read · 7 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

GitHub Code Quality is now generally available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Team. It combines CodeQL's deterministic static analysis with AI-assisted detection to catch maintainability and reliability issues in pull requests, with Copilot Autofix suggesting fixes before merge. New GA features include org-wide enablement with dashboards, code coverage metrics from Cobertura XML test reports, quality gates via GitHub rulesets, and APIs for managing enablement and fetching findings. Pricing is $10 per active committer per month plus usage-based billing for AI features and compute costs for CodeQL analysis. Over 10,000 enterprises used it during public preview; existing users are automatically transitioned to paid billing as of July 20, 2026.

## Questions this post answers

### How much does GitHub Code Quality cost now that it's generally available?

GitHub Code Quality costs $10 per active committer per month, plus usage-based billing for AI-powered work like AI-assisted detection and Copilot Autofix, plus compute costs for running CodeQL analysis on GitHub Actions. An active committer is anyone who pushed a commit to a Code Quality-enabled repository in the last 90 days, counted once per organization regardless of repo count; bot accounts aren't charged. Billing started automatically on July 20, 2026.

_Teams budgeting for code quality tooling can track GitHub's evolving AI and DevOps pricing on daily.dev._

### What happens to repositories that used GitHub Code Quality during its public preview?

Nothing needs to be migrated or reconfigured. Code Quality keeps running on the existing GitHub agreement, now as a paid product, so teams that were part of the more than 10,000 enterprises using it during preview should review which repositories or organizations have it enabled and disable it where they want to avoid new scans and charges.

_Anyone tracking how preview features convert into paid GitHub products can follow updates like this on daily.dev._

### What new features did GitHub Code Quality gain between public preview and general availability?

General availability added organization-wide enablement with org-level dashboards showing maintainability and reliability scores, code coverage metrics rendered from existing Cobertura XML test reports directly on pull requests, quality gates through GitHub rulesets (including coverage thresholds with a gradual-rollout evaluate mode), and APIs to manage repository enablement and fetch findings.

_Developers evaluating GitHub's quality-gate and coverage tooling can keep up with rollouts like this on daily.dev._
