[Vibe coding with GitHub Copilot](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/tutorials/vibe-coding)

<hr>

**5 December 2025**

We added documentation for the new Code generation tab, which is part of Copilot usage metrics. The docs now describe how to view code generation insights across your enterprise, compare user-initiated and agent-initiated behavior, and understand differences across models, languages, and modes. We also updated related conceptual and reference content for consistency and scannability. See [Viewing the code generation dashboard](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-for-enterprise/view-code-generation).

Task: Understand my role and options available in GitHub for controlling costs, so I have enough context to make decisions. -->

## Introduction to the billing manager role

Organization and enterprise owners can share the work of managing budgets and reporting on costs by inviting members to become billing managers. See [AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/adding-a-billing-manager-to-your-organization).

When you accept an invitation or a notification to become a billing manager, you gain access to the billing and licensing pages for an organization or enterprise account. From these pages you can view usage, set budgets to control costs, and download reports on how budgets were spent.

This article will guide you through the essential concepts and tasks you should focus on as a new billing manager, presented in a logical order to help you get oriented and become effective in your role.

## 1. Understand how {% data variables.product.github %} charges for use

First, you need to understand how billing works on GitHub and familiarize yourself with your organization's current costs and payment structure.

* Read about billing concepts to understand the terminology, what you pay for, and when. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/get-started/how-billing-works).
* Get an overview of the billing functionality and discover how to access billing information. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/get-started/introduction-to-billing).
* Explore your current usage and discover what your organization or enterprise is paying for and which features drive costs. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/products/view-productlicense-use).

## 2. Monitor usage and spending

Now that you understand the basics, you can start monitoring usage and tracking spending to identify trends and potential issues.

* Use billing reports to track monthly spending, identify trends, and spot anomalies that could signal unexpected usage or costs. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/manage-plan-and-licenses/view-enterprise-usage) and [AUTOTITLE](/billing/how-tos/manage-plan-and-licenses/manage-user-licenses).
* Share billing reports and budget status with organization owners, enterprise owners, or your finance team, to keep everyone aware of usage patterns and cost drivers.

## 3. Control costs by setting budgets and alerts

With insight into your spending patterns, you can take proactive steps to manage costs and prevent budget overruns.

* Learn how budgets and alerts allow you to track and control spending. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/concepts/budgets-and-alerts).
* Set up budgets and alerts to proactively address potential overspending before it becomes a problem. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/tutorials/set-up-budgets).
* Adjust budgets and thresholds as your organization grows or usage patterns change.

## 4. Attribute costs (enterprise only)

If you manage an enterprise account, you can use cost centers to organize and track spending across different teams and business units.

* Organize spend with cost centers to help you see which teams, projects, or business units are responsible for portions of your {% data variables.product.github %} bill. See [AUTOTITLE](/billing/tutorials/use-cost-centers).
* Attribute parts of the bill to specific teams to increase visibility and accountability.
* Compare groups and identify opportunities for optimization.

## 5. Collaborate and communicate

As a billing manager, you'll need to work closely with other stakeholders to share insights and support informed decision-making about costs.

* Report status and recommendations to finance, technical leads, and decision makers.
* Use the data and alerts from {% data variables.product.github %} to inform budget discussions, contract negotiations, and investment in new features.
* Ensure smooth onboarding for new billing managers by sharing helpful resources.

## Next steps

Now that you understand how billing works on {% data variables.product.github %}, you can look at tutorials to learn how to perform specific tasks.

* To estimate your spending and make informed decisions towards optimal budgeting, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/tutorials/estimate-spending).
* To find which teams or members drive most of your usage and who's using what, see [AUTOTITLE](/billing/tutorials/gather-insights).
