GH-200 GitHub Actions Exam Objectives

Exam Basics

Audience: developers/devops/IT pros with intermediate GitHub Actions experience
Format: proctored; knowledge + scenario items; 100 minutes
Prep resources: official study guide, practice assessment, and exam sandbox

Domain 1: Author & maintain workflows (40%)

Configure triggers (push/PR, schedule, manual, webhooks)
Use workflow components: jobs, steps, conditions, runners
Use secrets & environment variables (incl. GITHUB_TOKEN)
Create purpose-built workflows (packages/containers, service containers, CodeQL, targeted runners, cloud deploys)

Domain 2: Consume workflows (20%)

Interpret workflow effects and read config files
Diagnose failed runs; access logs via UI and REST API; enable step debug
Manage runs: caching, data passing, artifacts, status badges, env protections, matrices, approvals
Locate workflows, logs, artifacts; use org templates

Domain 3: Author & maintain actions (25%)

Select action type (JavaScript, Docker container, run step) for a scenario
Understand action structure, files, and metadata
Use workflow commands in actions (incl. exit codes); troubleshoot JS & Docker actions

Domain 4: Manage Actions for the enterprise (15%)

Distribute actions/workflows; control access; set org use policies
Manage runners: GitHub-hosted vs self-hosted, groups, labels, networking, IP allow lists; monitor & troubleshoot
Manage encrypted secrets at org/repo scope and use them in workflows

Out of Scope

Non-GitHub CI/CD tools and unrelated GitHub products
Deep cloud/network design beyond runner configuration
General programming topics not tied to Actions or action development

Scope distilled from official domains; exam centers on workflows, actions, and enterprise governance.

How to Prepare

Use the official study guide; align prep to the 4 domains
Take the free practice assessment and try the exam sandbox
Get hands-on: author workflows/actions, troubleshoot failures, configure runners/secrets
Optional: course GH-200T00 for structured coverage
