Track GitHub Code Quality enablement changes in the audit log
GitHub has enhanced its Code Quality features by introducing new audit log events, which document when users enable, disable, or modify settings for Code Quality at the repository level. These updates include specific events that track changes, the actors who made them, and the timestamps associated with such modifications. This enhancement allows organizations to better monitor the status of their code quality features, which is critical since billing is tied to active committers on enabled repositories. The new logs provide essential details for auditing purposes and can be accessed through the audit log API. Code Quality is available across various GitHub plans, ensuring users can maintain their code quality standards effectively.
