# Track GitHub Code Quality enablement changes in the audit log

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub Code Quality now generates audit log events whenever it is enabled, disabled, or reconfigured on a repository. Three new events (repo.code_quality_enabled, repo.code_quality_disabled, repo.code_quality_updated) each capture the repository, actor, and timestamp. Since billing for Code Quality is based on active committers on enabled repositories, these events let admins track exactly when a repo entered or left billing scope. Events appear in the organization and enterprise audit logs and are queryable via the audit log API. Code Quality is available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency, and GitHub Team.

## Questions this post answers

### How can I see when GitHub Code Quality was enabled or disabled on a repository?

GitHub now writes three audit log events for this: repo.code_quality_enabled, repo.code_quality_disabled, and repo.code_quality_updated. Each event records the repository, the actor who made the change, and the timestamp. These events appear in the organization and enterprise audit logs and can be queried through the audit log API.

_Admins tracking Code Quality billing exposure can follow GitHub platform changes like this on daily.dev._

### Why does GitHub track when Code Quality is enabled or disabled per repository?

Because Code Quality billing counts active committers on repositories where it is enabled, tracking enablement changes lets admins see exactly when a repository entered or left that billing scope. The new audit log events give a precise history of enable, disable, and configuration changes, tied to a specific actor and time.

_Following GitHub changelog updates on daily.dev helps teams stay ahead of billing-impacting changes._
