# GitHub Copilot

Connecting GitHub Copilot brings your GitHub Copilot spend into Harness Cloud & AI Cost Management alongside your cloud costs. The connector uses an Admin key with read-only access to pull usage and cost data from your GitHub Copilot account. You can analyze AI spend in Cost Explorer, attribute it with Views and Cost Categories, and govern it with budgets and anomaly detection, the same way you manage cloud costs.

### Before You Begin <a href="#before-you-begin" id="before-you-begin"></a>

**GitHub Copilot Admin key:** An Admin key with read-only access from your GitHub organization. The key lets Harness ingest billing and usage data.
