In this lesson
Prepare for the GH-200 exam (GitHub Actions). In this lesson: starter workflows and how templates are copied, organization templates in the .github repository with their properties.json metadata and the $default-branch placeholder, template availability for public, internal, and private repositories, consuming reusable workflows across the organization, and choosing between a template, a reusable workflow, and a composite action. Includes three original practice questions.
Preview the topics
- Contoso keeps its workflow templates in an internal .github repository. A developer creating a workflow in a public repository of the organization does not see them. Why?
- Contoso’s platform team keeps a reusable deployment workflow in a private repository, and the other private repositories of the organization fail to call it. What should the team change?
- Contoso wants a fix to its CI logic to reach every repository through a single change, without editing each repository’s workflow file. What should the repositories use?
