Explanation:
//
s:

Commits and pull requests (PRs) are fundamental concepts in Git and GitHub workflows, particularly
ht

in collaborative software development.

Commits:

Commits are individual changes or updates made to the codebase. Each commit is identified by a
unique SHA-1 hash and typically includes a commit message describing the changes.

Commits are made to a specific branch in the repository. The branch could be the main branch, or
more commonly, a feature branch created for specific work or a feature.

Pull Requests (PRs):

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 3/72

A pull request is a mechanism for developers to notify team members that a branch is ready to be
merged into another branch, usually the main branch.

PRs are used to review code, discuss changes, and make improvements before the branch is merged
into the target branch.

Relationship Between Commits and PRs:

Option A is correct because commits are made on a branch, and this branch can have a pull request
associated with it. The pull request tracks the branch’s commits and allows for code review before
merging into the target branch.

om
Commits can be added to the branch both before and after the pull request is created. Any new
commits pushed to the branch are automatically included in the pull request.

.c
ps
Incorrect Options:

m
Option B is incorrect because commits can be made both before and after a pull request is created.

du
Option C is incorrect because it suggests that commits can only be made before a pull request is
created, which is not true.
am
Option D is incorrect because commits are not made on a pull request; they are made on a branch.
ex

The pull request links a branch to another branch (e.g., feature branch to the main branch).

What is the difference between an organization member and an outside collaborator?

A. Organization base permissions do not apply to outside collaborators.

B. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is not required for outside collaborators.

C. Outside collaborators cannot be given the admin role on a repository.

D. Outside collaborators do not consume paid licenses.

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 4/72

Answer: A
Explanation:

In GitHub, an organization member is a user who has been added to an organization and is subject to
the organization's base permissions and policies. An outside collaborator is a user who is not a
member of the organization but has been granted access to one or more repositories within the
organization.

om
Here’s the difference between an organization member and an outside collaborator:

.c
Organization Members:

ps
Members are subject to the organization's base permissions, which apply across all repositories

m
within the organization. These permissions might include read, write, or admin access, depending on

du
what has been set as the default. am
Members consume paid licenses if the organization is on a paid plan.

Members are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) if the organization enforces it.
ex

Outside Collaborators:
id
al

Outside collaborators do not have organization-wide permissions. They only have access to specific
repositories to which they have been granted permission. This means organization base permissions
.v

do not apply to them (making option A correct).

w
w

Outside collaborators do not consume paid licenses. They are only counted toward the license if they
w

are made organization members.

//

Outside collaborators can be granted any level of permission, including the admin role on specific
s:

repositories.
tp

Two-factor authentication (2FA) can be enforced for outside collaborators at the repository level,
ht

depending on the organization's security settings.

Given this information, option A is the correct answer: "Organization base permissions do not apply
to outside collaborators."

What are the defining features of Git?

A. Distributed version control, open source software, and being designed for handling projects of any

om
size with efficiency

.c
B. Sequential version control, cloud-based hosting service, and being designed for collaboration on
large projects

ps
C. Low-cost local branching, convenient staging areas, multiple workflows, and being designed for

m
managing small projects

du
D. Centralized version control, proprietary software, and being designed for small projects
am
ex

Answer: A
id

Explanation:
al
.v
w

Git is a widely-used version control system that has several defining features:
w

Distributed Version Control:

w

Git is a distributed version control system, meaning that every developer has a full copy of the entire
//
s:

repository, including its history, on their local machine. This enables greater flexibility, as work can be
done offline and each user has access to the full project history.
tp
ht

Open Source Software:

Git is open-source, meaning its source code is freely available for use, modification, and distribution.
This fosters a large community of users and contributors who continuously improve the software.

Efficiency with Large Projects:

Git is designed to handle projects of any size with speed and efficiency. It can manage large
codebases and many contributors without significant performance degradation, making it suitable
for everything from small personal projects to large, complex software systems.

Incorrect Options:

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 6/72

Option B is incorrect because Git is not a sequential version control system, nor is it inherently tied to
cloud-based services. GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms offer cloud hosting for Git repositories, but
Git itself is a version control tool.

Option C is incorrect because Git is not limited to small projects; it is designed to scale efficiently, and
the other features mentioned are only partial descriptions of Git's capabilities.

Option D is incorrect because Git is not a centralized version control system; it is distributed.
Additionally, Git is open-source, not proprietary, and is used for projects of all sizes.

//
s:

D. Anyone with write permissions to the repository

tp
ht

Answer: B, D
Explanation:

In GitHub, issues and pull requests (PRs) are essential tools for managing work and collaboration in a
project. Assigning individuals to these issues or PRs is a way to indicate responsibility for addressing
the issue or completing the PR.

Anyone with write permissions to the repository:

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 7/72

Users who have write permissions to a repository can be assigned to issues and pull requests. Write
permissions allow users to push changes to the repository, create branches, and modify issues and
pull requests. Assigning them to an issue or PR ensures they are recognized as responsible for the
task.

Anyone who has commented on the Issue or pull request:

GitHub allows you to assign issues or pull requests to users who have already engaged with the
discussion by commenting on it. This feature is particularly useful for quickly assigning tasks to those
who are already involved in the conversation.

om
Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because having an enterprise GitHub account alone does not necessarily grant

.c
the ability to be assigned to issues or PRs. Permission to assign is based on repository-specific roles

ps
and permissions.

m
Option C is incorrect because not all personal GitHub accounts can be assigned to issues or PRs. The

du
user needs either write permissions to the repository or must have commented on the issue or PR.

Which of the following is the best GitHub feature for long-form documentation for a project?
tp
ht

A. Insights

B. Pull Requests

C. Projects

D. Wikis

Answer: D

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 8/72

Explanation:

GitHub offers a variety of features for different aspects of project management and documentation.
For long-form documentation, the best feature is Wikis. Wikis in GitHub allow you to create detailed,
structured documentation that is easy to navigate and edit. Each repository in GitHub can have its
own Wiki, which acts as a space for collaborators to maintain project documentation, guides,
manuals, or any other long-form content.

Wikis are specifically designed to host extensive documentation in a way that is easy to reference

om
and edit over time. They support Markdown, allowing you to format your documentation effectively.
Unlike the other options, Wikis are explicitly intended for the purpose of long-form content, making
them the best choice for this use case.

// w
s:

Answer: C
tp

Explanation:
ht

GitHub Projects is a flexible and powerful tool for project management that allows users to manage
their work with ease. One of the key characteristics of GitHub Projects is the ability to create and
customize multiple views. This feature enables teams to tailor the project management experience
to their specific workflow needs, offering various ways to visualize tasks, issues, and work items.

Custom Views: You can set up different views like Kanban boards, tables, or timelines, and apply
filters to show only what is relevant for a particular aspect of the project. This customization allows
teams to organize their work in a way that best suits their processes, making it a highly adaptable
project management tool.

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 9/72

Other options, such as visualizing commit history (which would fall under the 'Insights' feature),
importing Gantt charts (which GitHub Projects does not natively support), or enforcing required
fields (which might relate to form-based tools but not to GitHub Projects specifically), do not align
with the key characteristics of GitHub Projects.

Question: 7

Which of the following is an Innersource development practice?

om
.c
A. Adopting open source code into the organization

ps
B. Sharing code between teams within the organization

m
C. Removing open source code from the organization

D. Making all repositories publicly accessible

du
am
ex

Answer: B
id

Explanation:
al
.v
w

Innersource is a development practice where an organization adopts open-source development

methodologies within its own internal environment. The primary goal of innersource is to break
w

down silos and encourage collaboration across different teams within the organization.
// w

Sharing Code Between Teams:

s:

Option B is correct because innersource involves sharing code between teams within the
tp

organization, similar to how open-source communities share code across the public domain. This
ht

practice fosters collaboration, improves code quality, and allows for reuse of code, reducing
duplication of efforts.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because adopting open-source code into the organization is related to using
open-source software, not specifically to innersource practices.

Option C is incorrect because removing open-source code from the organization is contrary to the
principles of both open source and innersource.

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 10/72

Option D is incorrect because making all repositories publicly accessible refers to open source, not
innersource. Innersource typically involves keeping code internal to the organization.

breakdown of the provided options:

ht

Comment Syntax:

Option C is correct. The syntax <!-- This is a comment --> is used in Markdown files to insert
comments. These comments will not be rendered in the final output, making them useful for adding
notes or instructions within the code or documentation.

Incorrect Options:

Option A (* This is a heading) is incorrect because an asterisk (*) denotes an unordered list item, not
a heading. A heading in Markdown is typically created with one or more hash symbols (#).

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 11/72

Option B (This is a link) is incorrect because this is plain text and not the syntax for creating a link. The
correct syntax would be [This is a link](URL).

Option D (This is bolded text) is incorrect because this is plain text, not the correct Markdown syntax
for bold text, which should be **This is bolded text** or __This is bolded text__.

Option E (1. This is an ordered list) is incorrect as it does represent an ordered list item, but it was not
the syntax format asked about in the question. The question specifically focuses on matching
associated text with syntax, where only the comment option is correct.

Which of the following describes a branch in Git?

A. A pointer to an identical snapshot of the project at a specific point in time

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 15/72

B. A physical copy of the entire project stored on disk

C. A separate, isolated copy of the project's codebase

D. A new repository that shares code with the original "upstream" repository

Answer: C
Explanation:

om
In Git, a branch is a fundamental concept that represents an independent line of development within

.c
a project. Here's a more detailed explanation:

ps
Branch in Git:

m
Option C is correct because a branch in Git is essentially a separate, isolated copy of the project's

du
codebase where you can make changes without affecting the main codebase. Branches allow
developers to work on features, fixes, or experiments in parallel to the main project.
am
Other Options:
ex

Option A is incorrect because while a branch does point to a specific commit (which represents a
id

snapshot of the project), the description lacks the emphasis on the isolated and parallel
al

development aspect that is critical to the understanding of branches.

.v

Option B is incorrect because a branch is not a physical copy stored on disk; it is a logical reference
w

within the repository.

w

Option D is incorrect because that description better fits the concept of a fork, not a branch. A fork is

w
// w
s:

Answer: D
tp

Explanation:
ht

The CODEOWNERS file in a GitHub repository is used to define individuals or teams that are
responsible for specific parts of the codebase. When changes are made to files or directories that
match the patterns specified in the CODEOWNERS file, GitHub automatically requests reviews from
the listed code owners.

Setting Reviewers Automatically:

Option D is correct because the primary purpose of a CODEOWNERS file is to automatically set
reviewers for pull requests that affect the specified files or directories. This ensures that the

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 22/72

appropriate team members are notified and review the changes before they are merged.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because the CODEOWNERS file does not restrict who can edit specific files; it
only influences who is required to review changes.

Option B is partially related but not fully accurate because while CODEOWNERS does require certain
reviews, it does not mandate peer review for all code changes.

Option C is incorrect because the CODEOWNERS file does not define access permissions for the
repository; it deals with code review processes.

GitHub Teams Benefits:

Option B is correct because GitHub Teams provides advanced security features like SAML single sign-
on for secure authentication, as well as increased minutes for running GitHub Actions, which are
essential for continuous integration and deployment workflows.

https://www.validexamdumps.com/GitHub-Foundations.html
Questions and Answers PDF 32/72

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because private repositories and advanced tools are features available, but the
key differentiator in this context is the SAML SSO and additional GitHub Actions minutes.

Option C is incorrect because while expanded storage and priority support are valuable, SAML SSO
and increased GitHub Actions minutes are more central to the differences between GitHub Free and
GitHub Teams.

A. To create an issue or open a discussion

D. To create a new branch to develop a new feature

om
Answer: B, C
Explanation:

.c
ps
Forking a repository on GitHub is a common practice, especially when contributing to open-source

m
projects or when you want to build on existing work. Here are the two main reasons for forking a

du
repository:
am
B . To propose changes to the base repository:

One of the primary reasons for forking a repository is to make changes or improvements that you can
ex

later propose to the original repository (often called the "upstream" repository). This is typically
id

done through a pull request. By forking the repository, you get your own copy of the project where
al

you can freely experiment, make changes, and then propose those changes back to the original
project.
.v
w

C . To create a new repository based on an existing one:

w

Forking is also used to create a new repository that is a copy of an existing one. This allows you to
w

work on the project independently of the original repository, effectively creating a new direction for
//

the project or using it as a starting point for a different purpose. This is particularly useful for
s:

customization, experimentation, or when you want to build something different while still leveraging
tp

the existing codebase.

ht

Explanation of Other Options:

A . To create an issue or open a discussion:

This is incorrect because creating an issue or opening a discussion can be done directly on the
original repository without needing to fork it. Forking is unnecessary for these actions.

D . To create a new branch to develop a new feature:

While creating a new branch is related to development, it does not require a fork. Branches are
typically created within the same repository to work on new features. Forking is used when you need

Two recommended ways to improve the discoverability of a repository on GitHub are:

B . Create a README file describing the repository: A well-written README file provides essential
information about the project, such as what it does, how to use it, and how to contribute. This is
often the first thing potential users or contributors will see, making it critical for discoverability.

D . Add topics to classify the repository: Adding topics to your repository helps classify it under
specific categories, making it easier for others to find it through GitHub’s search and exploration
features. Topics act like tags, helping to connect your project with users interested in similar subjects.

GitHub provides a powerful search syntax to filter and find specific issues across repositories in an

Option A is correct because the query org:Avocado is:issue label:guacamole "404 error" is the best
way to search for all issues within the "Avocado" organization that contain the text "404 error" and

Incorrect Options:

Option B is incorrect because it requires manual filtering in a specific repository rather than searching

The primary benefits of using GitHub issues templates include:

w

A . To automatically label or assign newly created issues: Issue templates can be configured to
//

automatically apply labels or assign users when the issue is created, helping to streamline triage and
s:

management processes.
tp

B . To provide an easy-to-fill-out form for creating new issues: Templates provide a standardized
ht

format for submitting issues, ensuring that all necessary information is captured and reducing the
need for follow-up questions.

Coercing existing issues into a standard format or automatically creating new branches when issues
are created are not functions provided by GitHub issues templates.
