Who it’s for

Who should take the GH-200?

GH-200 is an associate-level, role-based certification. There are no formal prerequisites, but GitHub recommends hands-on experience — the questions are scenarios, not definitions.

You already build on GitHub

You run real workloads and want the credential that matches the job you're already doing — and the salary conversations that come with it.

You're moving into a cloud role

The exam blueprint doubles as a job description. Studying it task statement by task statement is the fastest way to find and close your skill gaps.

You hold a foundational cert

The natural next step on the same platform: deeper services, scenario-based questions, and a credential employers screen for by name.

The blueprint

What’s on the GH-200 exam

Every lesson, question, and mock is weighted to match these official domains.

Domain 124%

Author and manage workflows

Triggers and events, workflow structure (jobs, steps, conditions, matrices, service containers, contexts and expressions, YAML anchors), and execution outputs: caching, artifacts, job summaries and badges. Official weight range 20–25%.

Domain 219%

Consume and troubleshoot workflows

Reading what a workflow did and why it failed: triggers, logs and run history, matrix expansions and reruns, artifacts via UI and API, and starter vs reusable workflows vs composite actions. Official weight range 15–20%.

Domain 318%

Author and maintain actions

JavaScript, Docker and composite actions: metadata and directory structure, workflow commands, troubleshooting, immutable actions and version pinning, and publishing to the Marketplace. Official weight range 15–20%.

Domain 424%

Manage GitHub Actions for the enterprise

Actions at organization and enterprise scale: governance policies and reusable components, GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners and runner groups, networking, and secrets and variables at every scope. Official weight range 20–25%.

Domain 515%

Secure and optimize automation

Hardening and tuning automation: environment protections, script-injection defences, GITHUB_TOKEN permissions vs PATs, OIDC federation, SHA pinning, action allow lists, artifact attestations, and caching and retention for cost. Official weight range 10–15%.

The study plan

How you’ll prepare for the GH-200

Three surfaces, one loop: read, drill, rehearse — repeat until your readiness score says book it.

Step 1

Step 2

Drill every topic

Work through 379 exam-realistic questions in learn mode to study, or quiz mode to test yourself. Every option explains why it’s right or why it’s a trap, with one click back to the lesson.

Step 3

Rehearse the exam

Sit 3 full-length timed mocks weighted to the official domains and scored on the real GH-200 scale — so your mock result predicts your real one.
