Public preview

Code coverage metrics are now in public preview for all GitHub Code Quality users on github.com.

You can now see an aggregate percent of code covered directly on pull requests, giving reviewers a clear signal to help evaluate test completeness before merging. With coverage context in the pull request experience, your team can make faster, higher‑confidence review decisions without switching to a separate tool.

To get started, enable code coverage for your repository and upload a Cobertura report from your existing CI workflow using the upload-code-coverage action.

Permissions

GitHub Apps and Actions workflows require the new code-quality:write fine‑grained permission to upload code coverage reports to GitHub.

Availability and pricing

GitHub Code Quality is available today for GitHub Enterprise Cloud and Team, but isn’t yet available on GitHub Enterprise Server. It’s free during the preview period.
