Full Guide

GitHub Code Quality GA is a GitHub product update announced on 2026-06-16. GitHub announced that Code Quality would move from public preview to general availability as a paid product on July 20, 2026.

What it does

The announced release includes organization-wide deployment, organization quality dashboards, coverage enforcement through rulesets, repository and organization quality scoring, and APIs for enablement and findings management.

Availability and pricing

The June 16 notice schedules general availability for July 20 on GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. GitHub lists a $10 per-active-committer monthly base price on enabled repositories, metered AI-powered work, and GitHub Actions minutes for deterministic CodeQL analysis.

Who it is for

Engineering leaders, platform teams, and organization administrators planning code-quality gates and AI-assisted review across GitHub repositories.

What teams should review
