Organization-level targeting for GitHub Code Quality

PreviewJul 9, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Organization owners can now target a subset of repositories when enabling or disabling GitHub Code Quality, rather than applying it to every repository at once. This gives you more granular control on where you enable or disable Code Quality across your organization.
