Course Description

I created this comprehensive practice question bank to help you master the core concepts required to pass the GitHub Foundations certification. Earning this certification proves your ability to navigate, manage, and collaborate on software development projects using the world's most popular version control platform.

To ensure you are fully prepared, I have compiled 1500 detailed practice questions that mirror the actual exam environment. This is not just a test of your memory, it is a complete study guide. By working through these scenarios, you will uncover your weak areas and build the practical knowledge needed to succeed. I provide a deep dive into every single correct and incorrect option so you understand exactly why a specific feature, command, or security setting is the right choice for a given problem.

Practice Questions Preview

Here is a look at the type of questions you will find inside the course:

Question 1: Which of the following features is the standard method used to propose changes to a repository and request a code review from team members before merging?

Option A: git fetch
Option B: git commit
Option C: Pull Requests
Option D: git rebase
Option E: git stash
Option F: GitHub Issues
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation for Option A: Incorrect. The fetch command downloads commits and files from a remote repository to your local machine, but it does not propose changes to the team.
Explanation for Option B: Incorrect. Committing saves your changes locally. It does not share them with the remote repository or initiate a review process.
Explanation for Option C: Correct. Creating a Pull Request is the primary way on GitHub to notify team members that you have pushed changes to a branch and want them reviewed before merging into the main branch.
Explanation for Option D: Incorrect. Rebasing is used to rewrite commit history or integrate changes from one branch to another locally, not to request peer reviews.
Explanation for Option E: Incorrect. Stashing temporarily shelves your uncommitted local changes so you can work on a different task.
Explanation for Option F: Incorrect. Issues are used to track bugs, tasks, and feature requests. They do not contain the actual code changes needed for a review.

Question 2: When managing repository compliance, which setting should an administrator enable to prevent developers from directly pushing untested code to the main branch?

Option A: GitHub Actions
Option B: Branch Protection Rules
Option C: GitHub Pages
Option D: Dependabot alerts
Option E: GitHub Packages
Option F: Secret Scanning
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation for Option A: Incorrect. Actions are used to automate workflows like continuous integration, not to enforce repository push permissions.
Explanation for Option B: Correct. Branch Protection Rules allow administrators to enforce specific workflows, such as requiring approved code reviews or passing status checks before anyone can push or merge into protected branches.
Explanation for Option C: Incorrect. Pages is a hosting service for static websites directly from a repository.
Explanation for Option D: Incorrect. Dependabot notifies you about vulnerable dependencies in your code, it does not restrict branch access.
Explanation for Option E: Incorrect. Packages is a service for hosting and managing software packages.
Explanation for Option F: Incorrect. Secret scanning detects exposed tokens and keys in your code, but it is not a branch access control mechanism.

Question 3: Which built-in GitHub feature enables developers to automate software development workflows, such as compiling, testing, and deploying code directly from the repository?

Option A: GitHub Projects
Option B: GitHub Wikis
Option C: GitHub Actions
Option D: GitHub Discussions
Option E: GitHub Sponsors
Option F: GitHub CodeQL
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation for Option A: Incorrect. Projects is a customizable project management tool that integrates with issues and pull requests to track work.
Explanation for Option B: Incorrect. Wikis provide a dedicated space within the repository to host extensive project documentation.
Explanation for Option C: Correct. GitHub Actions is a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that allows you to automate your build, test, and deployment pipelines entirely within GitHub.
Explanation for Option D: Incorrect. Discussions is a collaborative communication forum for community engagement.
Explanation for Option E: Incorrect. Sponsors is a tool for financially supporting open-source developers.
Explanation for Option F: Incorrect. CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine used for finding security vulnerabilities, not a general workflow automation tool.
