    Microsoft GitHub Administration (GH-100)

    As GitHub becomes a shared platform for development, DevOps, and security teams, inconsistent identity controls, repository access, Actions usage, and security settings create audit risk and slow delivery. This GH-100 training gives IT teams a structured way to administer GitHub at the enterprise level so access, governance, and automation follow organizational policy. Built for GitHub administrators, platform engineers, and DevOps Team Leads, the course covers enterprise deployments and licensing, the authentication and authorization model, SAML SSO, 2FA, SCIM provisioning, roles and access audits, policies and rulesets, audit logging, secret scanning and push protection, CodeQL, Dependabot, tokens, GitHub Apps, Actions governance, and runner administration. Your team will be able to review access and audit data, standardize repository practices, and configure the security features that surface exposed secrets, vulnerable dependencies, and code issues. With 18 skills and about 14 hours of instruction, the course fits best as a series of focused learning blocks aligned with your existing identity provider, SSO, and CI/CD policy decisions. Training Managers can assign it through Playlists and track progress with Team Reporting, while Practice Exams support GH-100 readiness across the team.

Customer outcome

Build GH-100 capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the GitHub Administration course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished — the view leadership uses to see GitHub skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make GH-100 a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on GH-100 gives leadership a clear picture of GitHub skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about GitHub Administration training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating GitHub Administration training for their team.

How does GitHub Administration fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

Team reporting in CBT Nuggets documents assigned training, completion and certification coverage for internal governance or external audit conversations. Pair the GitHub Administration path with your auditor's control crosswalk for the formal compliance mapping your framework requires.

Who on the team should hold GitHub Administration, and what can a certified team own?

IT leaders typically frame GitHub Administration in operational terms — which roles and systems a certified engineer can own, defensible role coverage, predictable onboarding, and audit-ready training documentation. The measures that matter are time to resolve, time to productivity for new GitHub hires, and certification coverage by role rather than seat time.

What does CBT Nuggets GitHub Administration training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets GitHub Administration courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to GitHub's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track GitHub Administration training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the GitHub Administration courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on GitHub Administration?

It depends on the team's starting baseline and how much time each engineer can give the linked courses each week. Most teams plan the training as an assigned playlist with a target date, and the team report shows who has finished the courses and the practice exams before anyone books the exam.

What if GitHub updates the GitHub Administration exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates GitHub course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When GitHub restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
