GitHub Code Quality hits GA at $10 per active committer

On July 20, 2026, GitHub announced that Code Quality is generally available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Team. It targets an emerging problem as AI accelerates code output: catching maintainability and reliability issues inside pull requests by pairing CodeQL's deterministic analysis with AI-assisted detection, with Copilot Autofix proposing fixes to review before merge. GitHub says its own engineering teams resolve 67.3% of Code Quality findings before merging.

Key points

• New since public preview: organization-wide enablement with org-level dashboards, code coverage metrics rendered from Cobertura XML reports on pull requests, quality gates via GitHub rulesets (coverage thresholds plus an evaluate mode for gradual rollout), and APIs for enablement and findings.
• Pricing: $10 per active committer per month (active = pushed a commit in the last 90 days, counted once org-wide, bots not charged), plus usage-based billing for AI-powered work and compute for CodeQL runs on GitHub Actions.
• It is a standalone paid product, not bundled with GitHub Advanced Security, and is not on GitHub Enterprise Server at launch. No Copilot subscription is required for the AI features.
• More than 10,000 enterprises ran the public preview — nothing to migrate, but billing begins automatically on July 20, 2026, so review where it is enabled if you want to stop scans and charges.
