GitHub Paid Add-Ons

GitHub offers a number of add-ons to enhance developer productivity, collaboration, and workflow automation, including GitHub CoPilot, Codespaces, Actions/Runners, and Advanced Security.

Each of these add-ons has a free tier or is available at no cost to Hopkins affiliates registered with GitHub Education. GitHub Campus users who would like functionality not available in the free tier may request to add the paid version of these add-ons to their GitHub Organizations.

If you would like to add any of the paid services to your GitHub Organization, please fill out the request form below and we’ll be in touch.

Important note: To utilize paid services, you’ll need an Azure Subscription ID – this functions like a credit card that GitHub can charge against. If you don’t already have an Azure Subscription, you can request one from the IT@JH SVI team by emailing cloudrequests@jhmi.edu and noting that you’d like the subscription in order to purchase GitHub services. Please cc ospo@jhu.edu on the request email.

GitHub Codespaces

A GitHub Codespace is a development environment that is hosted in the cloud. Users can customize projects for GitHub Codespaces by committing configuration files to a repository (often known as Configuration-as-Code), which creates a repeatable codespace configuration for all users of a project.

GitHub Codespaces are available for individual GitHub account holders at no cost, up to a certain amount of compute and storage (see link below for details). GitHub Campus users wishing to access more compute or storage via Codespaces can add billing information to their Campus Organizations, and will be billed monthly for usage.

GitHub Actions Runners are the machines that execute jobs in your GitHub Actions workflows.

If your Organization is part of our GitHub Campus account, you have access to a pool of 50,000 Action minutes per month.
