Course Overview: GH-200T00 Automate Workflows with GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is GitHub’s built-in CI/CD and workflow automation platform that enables developers to automate build, test, and deployment pipelines directly from their repositories. The GH-200T00 course provides comprehensive training on creating workflows, configuring runners, managing secrets, and implementing deployment automation — enabling teams to ship software faster and more reliably.

Learning Objectives

1. Create and configure GitHub Actions workflows — author YAML workflow files with triggers, jobs, steps, and conditional logic for automated CI/CD pipelines
2. Manage runners and compute resources — configure GitHub-hosted and self-hosted runners, set up runner groups, and optimize build performance
3. Leverage the Actions ecosystem — discover and use marketplace actions, create custom actions, and build reusable workflow templates
4. Implement secure deployment automation — manage secrets, configure environment protection rules, and deploy to multiple environments with approval gates
