Repository navigation
[FEAT]: enable repository code-quality setting (PREVIEW) #2877
Description
Describe the need
Implements a call to the internal GitHub Enterprise endpoint
POST ///settings/code-quality to toggle the repository’s Code Quality feature.
This mirrors the GitHub UI action for enabling/disabling code scanning or quality checks (e.g., CodeQL), though it’s not part of the public REST API.
Details:
- Endpoint: /settings/code-quality (internal GHE)
- Request body: { "enabled": true }
- Effect: Activates repository-level code quality analysis
- Closest public equivalent: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/code-scanning/alerts

@thisispr it would be good functionality but support for the API would need to be implemented in google/go-github and we'd need to be running that version (we're currently a long way behind) to be in a position to implement this.

Hey @stevehipwell! I found this issue when I was looking to add support for this into our internal TF module. A quick search of this repo seems to indicate that the repo is now on v85 of go-github with v86.0.0 being released on 4 days ago.
Is this now considered unblocked and able to be implemented? Sure would be awesome to have this able to be rolled out more broadly within our org.

@SanderBlom maintainer roadmap is still focused on fixing foundations.
