[NEW] GitHub Actions

About this course

Detailed Exam Domain CoverageThe official GitHub Actions certification exam evaluates practical knowledge across four primary functional domains. This question bank reflects those exact weightings and core technical focus areas:Author and maintain workflows (40%)Triggers & Events: Configuring automated executions via event filters (push, pull_request, types, paths), time-based schedules (cron syntax), manual triggers (workflow_dispatch, workflow_call), and incoming webhooks.Workflow Architecture: Designing jobs, steps, dependencies (needs), conditional execution logic (if statements), context expressions, and runner environments.Variables & Secrets: Managing configuration data via environment variables, organization/repository secrets, and scoping security inheritance with the automated GITHUB_TOKEN.Advanced Topologies: Designing purpose-built configurations for matrix builds, containerized packages, service containers (databases/caches), automated CodeQL security scanning, targeted custom runners, and multi-environment cloud deployments.Consume workflows (20%)Log Analysis: Accessing, searching, and interpreting real-time step execution logs, diagnostic debugging output, and job execution states.GitHub REST/GraphQL API: Programmatically querying workflow histories, downloading run artifacts, triggering remote dispatches, and parsing active runner metrics.Troubleshooting: Identifying root causes for failed dependencies, syntax errors, timeouts, and structural breaks inside dependency graphs.Artifact Retention: Generating, storing, downloading, and mapping output files across completely distinct, un-linked workflow runs.Author and ma
