Copilot Usage Action

OpenSSF Best Practices

Get Copilot usage data as:

  • Md Job Summary
  • CSV
  • XML
  • JSON

Powered by the REST API endpoints for GitHub Copilot usage metrics.

Usage

Create a workflow (eg: .github/workflows/copilot-usage.yml). See Creating a Workflow file.

PAT(Personal Access Token)

You will need to create a PAT(Personal Access Token) that has the copilot, manage_billing:copilot, admin:org, admin:enterprise, or manage_billing:enterprise scope to use this endpoint.

Add this PAT as a secret so we can use it as input github-token, see Creating encrypted secrets for a repository.

Basic Example

The default behavior is to get the usage for the repository owner which is likely the organization.

Important

You need to set the secret TOKEN in your repository settings.
