What Are the GitHub Certifications?

GitHub offers a credential track covering automation and security. The GitHub Actions certification (GH-200) validates your ability to build, debug, and optimize CI/CD workflows. The GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) certification proves you can configure and operate code scanning (CodeQL), secret scanning, and dependency review to secure the software supply chain. Together they make you a complete DevSecOps practitioner on the world's largest developer platform.
