Course Description

This course covers the requirements of the GH-900: GitHub Foundations exam.

Note: Microsoft took over the provision of the "GitHub Foundations" exam as of 1 July 2025. The requirements for each domain completely changed on that date.

Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft or GitHub.


This course is the foundation for the GitHub Certificate GH-900 "GitHub Foundations", using an Microsoft exam, and focuses on GitHub repositories, and collaboration, contributing and working with GitHub and Git.

We'll start off by working with GitHub. We'll create a GitHub account, explore the user interface, create a repository, and look at settings and permissions.

We'll then work with files in a repository. We'll add, edit and delete files, use GitHub Desktop, and fork and create and manage Pull Requests.

We'll then use GitHub for project management. We'll create and manage issues, labels and milestones, implement DevOps practices, use GitHub for code review, and create and manage GitHub Projects.

We'll then look at other features in GitHub. We'll look at repository security, administer GitHub organizations, teams and discussions, and see how we can engage with the GitHub community.

Finally, we'll look at Git commands. On your computer, we'll initialize a Git repository, add and commit changes, push and pull changes, understand branching and merging, and clone a repository.

No prior knowledge is required - we will download all programs and sign up for GitHub for free.

Once you have completed this course, you will have a good introductory knowledge of Git and GitHub and how to collaborate using GitHub. And with some practice, you could even go for the official GitHub certification GH-900 - wouldn't that look good on your CV or resume?

So, without any further ado, let's have a look at how you can use the Udemy interface, and then we'll have a look at the objectives for the exam and therefore the syllabus for this course.

Before this course GitHub intimidated and confused me in equal measure. No longer! This has been a fantastic course; well paced, well structured, excellent explanations and assignments to follow along with. I've learnt a great deal in a relatively short space of time, I highly recommend this course.

By Justin Terry on 6/12/2026

This course was my backbone preparation for the GH-900 exam, which I passed today. I always do some additional research to complement course lectures, in this case the GitHub/Git documentation. Also the Microsoft Learn materials are valuable. Thanks to Phillip for another enjoyable course that guided me well in preparing for the exam.

The course was really helpful, concepts are clear. I have cleared my GH-900 certification.

By Norm Smallwood on 3/11/2026

Great material and very thorough. The instructor moves quickly but I slowed the video down a bit and was perfectly fine. I would highly recommend this course to anyone studying for the gh-900 exam.

By Jahanzeb Khan on 1/18/2026

The Git course was well structured and covered the concepts in good detail. The explanations were clear, and the overall pacing made it easy to follow, especially for someone looking to build a solid understanding of Git fundamentals. One improvement that would add value is an optional summary video or crash‑course style recap at the end. This would be very helpful for revision, rather than having to revisit the entire course again. Additionally, while the notes are included resources, but they are actually word to word commentary. Summarize notes would help to skim through course content. Overall, it is a good and informative course, and with the addition of revision summaries and quick‑review notes, it would be even more effective.

I learned a lot of things. I am non-native english speaker but i can listen to the lecture because his english is clear. However, the English subtitles have some issues. You might not want to trust them too much.
