Release timeline

November 20265 releases

  1. November 11, 2026

    GitHub App support for Enterprise Copilot seat management

    Enterprise GitHub Apps can now call the enterprise-level Copilot seat management APIs to control which users and enterprise teams are assigned Copilot seats. The APIs are accessible via the GitHub App integration, allowing administrators to programmatically add or remove Copilot seats for individual users or entire teams within an enterprise. This change replaces manual seat assignment in the GitHub UI.

    Why it matters: This enables automated seat provisioning, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring consistent compliance across large organizations.

    Dependabot alerts will pause on inactive repositories

    GitHub will pause Dependabot alerts on most repositories lacking activity for the past year starting December 8, 2026. Existing alerts are archived rather than deleted.

    Why it matters: Dormant repositories will stop generating security notifications, requiring teams to manually review or reactivate monitoring when resuming work on older codebases.

    Secret scanning upgrades detectors, adds SpaceX as partner

    GitHub added SpaceX as a secret scanning partner and introduced a new detector for starlink_public_api_v2_secret. The update also upgraded existing detectors for Alibaba, AWS, Google, OpenVSX, and Pydantic Services.

    Why it matters: Expanding pattern coverage reduces exposure windows for leaked credentials across supported cloud providers and third-party services directly within the repository workflow.

  4. November 6, 2026

    Usage metrics API adds code review details and addressed rate

    GitHub added enterprise and organization repository-level Copilot usage metrics reports that track Copilot code review feedback. A new copilot_code_review object on each repos-1-day row reports how many Copilot-reviewed interactions occurred.

    Why it matters: Engineering leads can programmatically track Copilot code review adoption and addressed rates directly through existing repository metrics pipelines without manual auditing.

  5. November 2, 2026

    Security risk assessments include repository protection status

    GitHub code security risk assessments and secret risk assessments now indicate whether findings originate in protected or unprotected repositories. This distinction helps practitioners identify gaps in their security coverage across organization repositories.

    Why it matters: Practitioners can prioritize remediation efforts and systematically enforce scanning rules on unguarded codebases without manually auditing repository settings.

    Webhook IP ranges added to the Meta API

    The Meta API now returns the IP ranges used for GitHub webhook deliveries in the hooks field. This addition lets services that maintain static network allowlists update their rules to include the new ranges for github.com webhook traffic. No other API changes are noted.

    Why it matters: Updating the allowlist ensures webhook traffic from GitHub is not blocked, preventing delivery failures for services that filter by IP.
