Gh-200 Github Actions Certification: Practice Test & Prep

Master GitHub Actions with real-world scenarios, practice test & detailed explanations to ace the GH-200 exam

What you'll learn

Understand GitHub Actions fundamentals – Explain key concepts like workflows, events, jobs, and runners.

Implement Continuous Integration (CI) – Configure workflows to automatically build and test code on every commit.

Set up Continuous Deployment (CD) – Deploy applications securely to different environments using Actions.

Manage and use reusable workflows – Design and leverage workflow templates for standardization across teams.

Configure and secure secrets – Manage repository-, environment-, and organization-level secrets for safe automation.

Work with self-hosted and GitHub-hosted runners – Select and configure the right runner types for enterprise workloads.

Monitor and troubleshoot workflows – Use logs, debugging strategies, and reporting tools to resolve workflow failures.

Apply enterprise governance – Control access to actions, enforce organizational policies, and manage distribution of reusable components.

Requirements

Basic knowledge of Git and GitHub Understanding how to clone a repo, commit changes, and push to GitHub. Familiarity with GitHub repositories, branches, pull requests, and issues.

Experience with YAML syntax GitHub Actions workflows are defined using YAML. You should know how indentation, key-value pairs, and lists work in YAML.

Familiarity with CI/CD concepts You should know what Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) mean. Understand why teams use automation to build, test, and deploy code.

Basic command-line usage Comfort with running scripts or commands in a terminal or shell environment.

Software/Tools Needed A GitHub account (free or enterprise). A code editor (like VS Code) to edit YAML files and scripts. Optionally: A Node.js runtime installed locally (if you're testing workflows for Node.js projects).
