Billing for GitHub#
Currently, only GHEC customers with GitHub Copilot enabled need a cost center for metered billing.
OIT pays for GitHub Enterprise Cloud for use by administrators. On top of the cost of licensing for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, there are many upgradable features that can be used a la carte for extra cost, including Copilot. For teams that want to use GitHub Copilot, GitHub usage will be invoiced and metered through a cost center associated with their unit's GHEC organization. These cost centers are billed in Azure through a team-provided Azure subscription. You can find your GitHub charges in the Cost Management tab in Azure Portal.
These bills can include usage from GitHub Copilot, GitHub Actions (which should not incur cost unless your team utilizes the umn-hosted-vpn GHA runner or another "large" runner), LFS, and Packages. Bills are paid by the associated department to the EFS budget string used for their Azure subscription.
