Course Overview

Mastering GitHub Foundations is a hands-on, exam-focused course that prepares learners to pass the official GitHub Foundations certification (GH-900) by teaching Git fundamentals, repository workflows, branching & merging, collaboration (pull requests, code review, issues), GitHub products (CLI, Desktop, Pages, Actions basics), project & release management, and essential security & administration practices. The curriculum follows the official exam domains and includes practice labs, sample exam questions, a full study guide, and tips for showcasing your GitHub presence.

FAQ

Yes. The course maps directly to the official GitHub Foundations exam domains (Introduction to Git & GitHub; Working with Repositories; Collaboration features; Modern development; Project management; Privacy, security & administration), and uses the GitHub Foundations study guide as a blueprint.

Beginners and early-career developers, QA/test engineers, product managers, and anyone who uses GitHub for collaboration and wants a certificate validating foundational GitHub skills.

You’ll gain practical Git & GitHub skills, a portfolio of completed labs (README, PRs, issues, simple CI examples), practice exam performance, and a preparation checklist for taking the official GitHub Foundations exam. (The course prepares you to demonstrate entry-level GitHub competence recognized by the GitHub certification program.)

Recommended path: complete the course modules + 8–12 hands-on labs, then take the practice exam. Many learners prepare in 4–8 weeks with regular practice (3–6 hours/week); you can accelerate or slow down depending on prior Git experience. (Use the official study guide and Microsoft Learn GitHub Foundations path as prep resources.)

Yes — GitHub provides an official study guide and exam blueprint; several community practice tests and study notes are available for additional practice. Check GitHub’s certification pages and the official study guide PDF for domain breakdown and resources.
