Three of the 124 questions in this pack
Question 1
Scheduled workflows run on the:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: E. latest commit on the default or base branch.
Scheduled workflows (triggered by the schedule event) execute on the latest commit of the default or base branch, typically main or master. This ensures consistency since the workflow schedule is defined in the repository's default branch and runs against the most current code on that branch.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Scheduled workflows don't run on arbitrary specified commits; they run on the latest commit of a specific branch.
- B. There is no standard branch named 'schedule' that workflows default to.
- C. Scheduled workflows don't run on the branch where they were triggered, they run on the default branch.
- D. While main is often the default branch, the correct answer is more general: the default or base branch, which may vary.
Question 2
Custom environment variables can be defined at multiple levels within a workflow file including: (Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose three.)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A, B, E. top level; step level; job level.
Custom environment variables in GitHub Actions workflows can be defined at three levels: top level (applies to all jobs and steps), job level (applies to all steps within a job), and step level (applies only to that specific step). There are no 'default', 'runner', or 'stage' levels in GitHub Actions workflow syntax.
Why the other options are wrong
- C. There is no 'default level' in GitHub Actions workflow structure.
- D. Runner-level is not a valid scope for defining environment variables in workflows.
- F. GitHub Actions does not use 'stage' terminology; it uses 'job' instead.
Question 3
You are a DevOps engineer working on deployment workflows. You need to execute the deploy job only if the current branch name is feature-branch. Which code snippet will help you to implement the conditional execution of the job?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. jobs: deploy: if: github.ref_name == 'feature-branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3
The correct syntax uses github.ref_name to access the current branch name. The ref_name context variable specifically contains the branch or tag name that triggered the workflow, and the condition github.ref_name == 'feature-branch' properly checks for the feature-branch.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. github.branch.name does not exist in the GitHub Actions context.
- C. github.ref.name is incorrect; the context variable is github.ref_name, not a nested object.
- D. github.branch_name does not exist; the correct context variable is github.ref_name.

What makes the GH-200 hard
GH-200 was rebuilt in January 2026. It went from four domains to five, added a security and optimisation domain, and Microsoft's change log says objectives were added, removed, moved and reworded throughout, so an older four-domain question set is for a different exam.
What it tests now is whether a candidate can run Actions at scale, not just write a YAML file. Workflow authoring and enterprise management are the two biggest domains at 20 to 25% each: workflow_dispatch inputs mapped into workflow_call, service containers, matrix strategies, contexts and expression evaluation, then runner groups, IP allow lists and secrets managed through the REST API.
The newer security domain covers GITHUB_TOKEN versus PAT permissions, OIDC federation to cloud providers, pinning actions to full commit SHAs under immutable actions enforcement, script injection mitigation, and SLSA artifact attestations. The blueprint even names the Ubuntu 20.04 deprecation and the Windows Server 2025 move for windows-latest, which shows how current the questions are.
About the exam
GH-200 (GitHub Actions) is delivered by Microsoft and maintained by GitHub. It covers authoring and managing workflows, consuming and troubleshooting workflows, authoring and distributing custom actions, managing Actions for the enterprise including runners and secrets, and securing and optimising automation. It is an intermediate-level exam with no prerequisites, and skills are measured as of January 2026.
