# GitHub Costs
Integration version1.0.0  GitHub Costs DashboardGitHub Costs Explorer
## Overview{% #overview %}

Datadog's GitHub Costs integration provides a comprehensive view of your GitHub expenses—from Actions to Storage to Copilot—across your organization. With this integration, you can view GitHub costs alongside other costs in [Cloud Cost Management](https://app.datadoghq.com/cost), filter cost data by repository, and optimize cloud spend across your entire enterprise.

## Setup{% #setup %}

To read enterprise billing information from GitHub, Datadog requires a personal access token (Classic) from an Enterprise Admin user with the `manage_billing:enterprise` and `read:org` scopes, as the [Cost Center](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/billing/cost-centers?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-all-cost-centers-for-an-enterprise) and [Billing Usage](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/rest/billing/usage?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-billing-usage-report-for-an-enterprise) endpoints do not support fine-grained personal access tokens. You also need to provide your enterprise name, which can be found on the [enterprise settings page](https://github.com/settings/enterprises).

### Installation{% #installation %}

1. Navigate to the Datadog [Github Costs tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/github-costs).
1. Click **Add New Account**.
1. Enter an account name, your personal access token, and your enterprise name (in `enterprise-name` format), as well as any appropriate tags.
1. Click the **Save** button to save your settings.

### Validation{% #validation %}
