GitHub Code Quality Is Now Paid GA — What the $10/Committer Price Buys You

TL;DR: GitHub Code Quality hit GA on July 20 — AI-assisted issue detection, Copilot Autofix on every PR, org-wide quality dashboards, and coverage gates are now a paid product at $10/active committer/month.

After months in public preview (used by 10,000+ enterprises), Code Quality is now purchasable on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Team. Key capabilities:

• Copilot Autofix: generates a code fix — not just a finding — directly in the PR for each detected issue
• AI-assisted detection: scans for maintainability and reliability issues beyond what CodeQL alone catches
• Org-wide dashboards: quality scoring and coverage metrics across all repos in one view
• Quality gates: enforce coverage thresholds via rulesets before merge is allowed

Pricing: $10 per active committer per month for the base product, plus usage-based billing for AI features (Copilot code review, AI detection, Autofix generation). Deterministic CodeQL analysis still runs on GitHub Actions minutes.

Why it matters: If your org already has Copilot, Code Quality turns it into an automated code review layer on every PR. The practical unlock is Autofix — it surfaces a concrete fix so developers can merge a suggestion rather than context-switch to write one.
