The exam

What GH-900 tests

GH-900 validates foundational knowledge of Git and GitHub — version control basics, working with repositories, collaborating through issues and pull requests, modern development practices like Actions, Copilot, and Codespaces, project management, privacy and security fundamentals, and the open-source community GitHub supports.

Who it is for

Built for fundamentals-level candidates
