GH-900 Practice Test and Hands-On Study Roadmap
Learn Git and GitHub vocabulary, repository workflows, collaboration, project management, security basics, and community features through focused practice.
Is GH-900 the right starting point?
GH-900 is designed for developers, non-developers, project contributors, administrators, and other GitHub users who want to demonstrate foundational platform knowledge. You do not need to be an advanced programmer, but you should understand why version control exists and how teams use repositories to plan, review, protect, and ship work.
Build knowledge in seven layers
A practical lab beats passive memorization
Create a disposable repository and complete this sequence before judging your readiness:
- Add a README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING guide, and SECURITY policy.
- Create a feature branch, make commits, open a pull request, and request a review.
- Link the pull request to an issue and observe what happens when it is merged.
- Configure notifications, labels, milestones, templates, and a small GitHub Project.
- Inspect branch protection, repository insights, dependency information, and access settings.
- Explain GitHub Flow in your own words without confusing it with Git itself.
Common traps in foundation-level questions
Git versus GitHub
Git is the distributed version-control system; GitHub hosts repositories and adds collaboration, security, automation, and community capabilities.
Issues versus discussions
Issues usually track actionable work. Discussions are better for open-ended community conversation, questions, and ideas.
Fork versus branch
A branch is a line of work inside a repository; a fork is a separate copy under another account or organization.
From foundations to DevOps
After you can use repositories and collaboration features confidently, the AZ-400 DevOps practice test is a logical advanced resource for learning delivery pipelines, source-control strategy, security, and operational feedback. GH-900 is not listed as a formal AZ-400 prerequisite, but the GitHub foundation makes its workflow scenarios easier to understand.
