According to the GitHub changelog published on 4 August 2026, GitHub announced a new repository setting within Code Quality to generate coverage workflows automatically using artificial intelligence. Setting up code coverage has traditionally been manual and disconnected, but the new option provides contextual help directly in settings to create a working pipeline with a single click. GitHub states that the tool builds code, runs tests, generates a coverage report, and uploads it to GitHub using least-privilege permissions by default.
Availability and public preview details
The system opens a pull request so users can review the changes before merging them, removing guesswork and cutting down setup time according to the GitHub changelog. Code coverage automatic enablement is in public preview for all GitHub Code Quality users on github.com. The vendor states that GitHub Code Quality is available for GitHub Enterprise Cloud and Team, but it is not yet available on GitHub Enterprise Server. The post does not state any pricing details for the feature.
