GH-100-Specific Tips
- Hands-on practice is critical—set up a test GitHub organization with multiple users, teams, and repositories. Configure branch protection rules, status checks, and CODEOWNERS to deeply understand permission models.
- Focus heavily on GitHub Actions workflows and automation since this domain appears multiple times across the exam topics. Lab through runner setup, secrets management, and workflow triggers.
- Study the audit logs and security features in detail—understand how to review organization activity, enforce two-factor authentication, and manage SSH keys and tokens. These are real-world admin responsibilities.
- Get familiar with GitHub Enterprise Server vs. GitHub Enterprise Cloud differences, especially around deployment, licensing, and user identity synchronization (LDAP, SAML, OIDC).
- Practice permission models across orgs, teams, and repository scopes. Understand when to use collaborators vs. teams, and how to grant the minimum necessary permissions.
- Review GitHub Apps and OAuth application authorization thoroughly—understand token types, scopes, and when to use each for secure integrations.
- Take advantage of the 65 available practice questions; the low 1.9 difficulty rating means you're more likely passing if you understand concepts conceptually rather than memorizing edge cases.
