CodeQL pull requests insights on security overview now cover all protected branches

Source: GitHub Changelog

What’s new

• All nine insight tiles and the CSV file you can download on the CodeQL pull requests insights tab now aggregate data from all protected branches instead of only the default branch.
• You’ll see higher, more representative numbers for alerts fixed with Autofix suggestions, reflecting the true impact across all protected branches.
• Data is expected to change retrospectively, so you may see larger numbers in your historical data.

Why this matters

Previously, Security Overview only showed CodeQL alert and Autofix statistics for the default branch, which understated Autofix’s value. With data from all protected branches, you’ll get a comprehensive view of how Autofix helps developers resolve GitHub code scanning alerts across your entire codebase.
