Set the Copilot code review runner configuration for an organization

Sets the runner configuration that Copilot code review uses for an organization. After a successful update, Copilot code review uses its own runner configuration and configured_by is code_review.

A labeled runner requires at least one label in runner_labels or a runner_group_name. A standard runner does not accept labels or a runner group. When allow_repository_customization is omitted, the current effective value is kept. The whole request is validated before any change is made, so invalid input does not change the configuration.

Organization owners can use this endpoint. OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need either the manage_billing:copilot or admin:org scope. GitHub App tokens and fine-grained personal access tokens are not supported.

Get Copilot code review settings for a repository

Gets the Copilot code review settings for a repository. These settings tune how Copilot code review reviews pull requests in the repository. They do not enable Copilot code review.

review_effort.configured is null when the repository inherits its review effort from the organization, the enterprise, or GitHub's default. review_effort.effective is the review effort that reviews use when the requester and the pull request do not choose one. Only review efforts available for the repository are reported; when reviews would use an unavailable effort, review_effort.effective is the review effort they would use without it.

Repository administrators can use this endpoint. OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo scope to use this endpoint.
