Question: 1

om
What feature can developers take advantage of by using the GitHub Marketplace?

.c
A. the ability to publish and share their GitHub Actions and Apps
B. a single place to manage their GitHub subscription, purchase additional GitHub Actions

ps
storage and minutes and access GitHub Apps
C. a storefront for anyone to sell their GitHub Apps to others

m
D. a single place to connect, follow, and chat with other members of the GitHub community

du
Answer: A
Explanation:

m
The GitHub Marketplace allows developers to share GitHub Actions and Apps with the GitHub
xa
community.

WRONG ANSWERS:
le

• The primary intention of the GitHub Marketplace is to list free and paid tools for developers to use. It is
ua

not a single place to connect and follow members of the GitHub community.

• Anyone can share their apps with other users for free on GitHub Marketplace, but only apps owned by
ct

organizations can sell their apps.

.a

• GitHub Marketplace offers developers two types of tools: GitHub Actions and Apps. Managing GitHub
subscriptions, GitHub Actions storage, and minutes are not provided within the GitHub Marketplace.

Question: 2

As a project manager overseeing a GitHub repository, you want to assess community

engagement, track key metrics, and pull useful data. How might GitHub repository insights help
you?

A. repository insights highlight secret and code scanning alerts

B. repository insights allow you to track all open tasks and issues
C. repository insights graph activity and contributor engagement of your project
D. repository insights provides contributors email addresses for you to contact them directly

Answer: C
Explanation:

GitHub repository insights and the respective repository's graphs give you information on traffic, projects
that depend on the repository, contributors and commits to the repository, and a repository's forks and
network. You can use this data to get a better understanding of who's using your repository and why

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 3

they're using it.

om
WRONG ANSWERS:

• Secret and code scanning alerts pertains to security features rather than analytics and insights related
to repository activity and engagement. Therefore these are managed and visible on the Security tab

.c
within GitHub.

ps
• GitHub Repository does show contributor activity, but does not expose individual contributors' email
addresses because of user privacy and security.

m
• GitHub Issues are used to track ideas, feedback, tasks, or bugs for work on GitHub. While GitHub
repository insights provide a summarized view of activity of issues (issues closed, issues opened, etc.)

du
issue tracking is not part of GitHub insights, but rather can be found on the GitHub Issues tab.

Betty is a GitHub project manager who has grown tired of adding new issues to the project. What
feature can Betty use to help streamline her project workflow?
ua

A. Betty should create charts to visualize issues and add them to the project board
B. Betty can assign labels to issues manually to categorize them within the project board
ct

C. Betty should just engage in discussions to collectively decide which issues to add to the
.a

project board
D. Betty should configure the project's built-in workflows to automatically add new items as
w

they are created or updated in a repository

w

Answer: D
w

Explanation:

You can configure your project's built-in workflows to add items from repositories that match a filter
automatically.
You can configure your project's built-in workflows to automatically add new items as they are created or
updated in a repository. You can define a filter to only add items that meet your criteria. You can also
create multiple auto-add workflows, and each workflow can have a unique filter and target a different
repository.
When you enable the auto-add workflow, existing items matching your criteria will not be added. The
workflow will add items when created or updated if the item matches your filter.

WRONG ANSWERS:

• Project Views are more about visualization and tracking, not about automatically adding issues to the
project board.

• Project Discussions are threaded discussions and are not designed to add issues to the project board
automatically.

• Project Labels are used for categorization but not for automating the addition of issues to the project

Question: 4

ps
Your new team member has been assigned to help you manage the code base for the new
release of the stock trading application within your organization. You are unsure how you were

m
provided access to the code repository but would like to help your colleague get the appropriate

du
access. What is the best approach?

A. add your new team member directly to the GitHub repository

m
B. reach out to the organization moderator to view which teams have access to the repository
and then have them add your collegue to the appropriate team
xa
C. reach out to the organization owner to view which teams have access to the repository and
then have that owner or a team maintainer add your colleague to the appropriate team
le

D. instruct your colleague to contact GitHub support for access

ua

Answer: C
ct

Explanation:
.a

To perform any actions on GitHub a person must have sufficient access to the relevant account or
resource. This access is controlled by permissions. A permission is the ability to perform a specific
w

action. A role is a set of permissions you can assign to individuals or teams. Teams allow you to manage
access for people in an organization. People with owner or team maintainer permissions can add
w

organization members to teams to assign them their appropriate roles.

w

WRONG ANSWERS:

• People with admin access to a repository can manage access to the repository, so while it may be
possible to provide your team member access directly to the repository it is unclear if you have access to
do so. In addition, adding a user directly without understanding the access process may lead to
inappropriate permissions and security risks.

• While GitHub support can assist with certain issues, access to specific repositories is typically
managed by repository owners or administrators. Relying solely on GitHub support may not be the most
efficient approach for repository access.

• Organization moderators have access to block and unblock non-member contributors, set interaction
limits, and hide comments in public repositories owned by the organization but they do not have access
to assign members to teams.

Amir is a developer working on a complex coding project and recently started using GitHub
Copilot to assist with code suggestions. How can GitHub Copilot enhance Amir's coding

m
experience and workflow?

du
A. GitHub Copilot can automatically generate and complete entire code files based on input
from Amir

m
B. GitHub Copilot allows real-time collaboration with Amir's team members, facilitating
simultaneous code editing
xa
C. GitHub Copilot provides code reviews and suggests improvements in Amir's existing codebase
D. GitHub Copilot is specifically designed for managing and organizing Amir's project tasks on
le

GitHub
ua

Answer: A
ct

Explanation:
.a

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that offers autocomplete-style suggestions as you code. You
can receive suggestions from GitHub Copilot by writing the code you want to use or by writing a natural
w

language comment describing what you want the code to do. GitHub Copilot analyzes the context in the
file you are editing, as well as related files, and offers suggestions from within your text editor.
w

WRONG ANSWERS:
w

• Real-time collaboration with team members is not a primary feature of GitHub Copilot. It is more
focused on code generation.

• GitHub Copilot is not specifically designed for managing and organizing project tasks; its main
functionality is code completion and generation.

• While GitHub Copilot aids in code generation, it is not designed for code reviews or suggesting
improvements in the existing codebase.

Question: 6

GitHub Projects provide several layouts to view open issues related to a project. Which layout is NOT
available in GitHub?

A. Roadmap Layout

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 6

B. List Layout
C. Board Layout

om
D. Table Layout

.c
Answer: B

ps
Explanation:

You can view your project as a high-density table, as a kanban board, or as a timeline-style roadmap.

m
While changing the layout of a GitHub project, there is no list layout. Table layout, board layout, or
roadmap layout are the only three layouts that GitHub Projects provides.

du
WRONG ANSWERS:

m
• A table layout is an adaptable spreadsheet composed of your issues, pull requests, draft issues, and
custom fields.
xa
• A board layout spreads your issues, pull requests, and draft issues across columns
le

• A roadmap layout provides a visualization of your project across a configurable timespan, and allows

Question: 7
w

As part of your project management responsibilities on GitHub, you need to adjust your
w

notification preferences to stay updated on specific repository activities without being

overwhelmed by less relevant updates. Which method allows you to effectively manage your
w

notification subscriptions?

A. Send an email to GitHub support to request custom notification settings for your account.
B. Subscribe to individual files within a repository to receive notifications only for changes to
those files.
C. Manually check the repository daily as GitHub does not support customized notification
settings.
D. Use the 'Watch' button at the top of the repository page to customize your notification
preferences for that repository.

Answer: D
Explanation:

Use the 'Watch' button at the top of the repository page to customize your notification preferences for
that repository. -> Correct. The 'Watch' button allows users to choose how they receive notifications for a

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 7

repository, including options to receive all notifications or only specific types like those for discussions or
pull requests.

om
Subscribe to individual files within a repository to receive notifications only for changes to those files. ->
Incorrect. GitHub does not allow users to subscribe to individual files; subscriptions are managed at the
issue, pull request, or repository level.

.c
Manually check the repository daily as GitHub does not support customized notification settings. ->
Incorrect. GitHub does support customized notification settings, allowing users to manage how and when

ps
they receive updates.
Send an email to GitHub support to request custom notification settings for your account. -> Incorrect.
Notification preferences are user-managed directly within GitHub's interface and do not require support

Question: 8

What are the different options available for providing feedback during a code review on a GitHub pull

m
request?
xa
A. Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Changes, Validate
B. Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Edits, Flag for Follow-up
le

C. Comment, Endorse, Request Changes, Suggest Changes, Dismiss

ua

D. Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Changes

ct

Answer: D
.a

Explanation:
w

Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Changes -> Correct. These options represent the range
of feedback mechanisms available in a pull request. 'Comment' for general feedback, 'Approve' to signify
w

acceptance, 'Request Changes' to require modifications before merging, and 'Suggest Changes' to
propose specific alterations to the code.
w

Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Changes, Validate -> Incorrect. While 'Comment',
'Approve', 'Request Changes', and 'Suggest Changes' are valid options, 'Validate' is not a recognized
GitHub action during code reviews.
Comment, Endorse, Request Changes, Suggest Changes, Dismiss -> Incorrect. 'Endorse' and 'Dismiss'
are not standard options within GitHub's pull review interface. The correct options focus on commenting,
approving, requesting changes, and suggesting changes.
Comment, Approve, Request Changes, Suggest Edits, Flag for Follow-up -> Incorrect. 'Suggest Edits'
and 'Flag for Follow-up' are not official terms used in GitHub. The standard terms are 'Comment',
'Approve', 'Request Changes', and 'Suggest Changes'.

Question: 9

What are helpful topics to include to classify a GitHub repository? (select three)

A. license
B. language
C. subject area
D. repository's intended purpose

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 8

om
Answer: B, C, D
Explanation:

.c
GitHub topics all you to explore repositories in a particular subject area, find projects to contribute to, and

ps
discover new solutions to a specific problem. Helpful topics to classify a repository include the
repository's intended purpose, subject area, community, or language. Additionally, GitHub analyzes
public repository content and generates suggested topics that repository admins can accept or reject.

m
Private repository content is not analyzed and does not receive topic suggestions.

du
WRONG ANSWER:

• GitHub topics don't typically include license information. Most people place their license text in a file

m
named LICENSE.txt (or LICENSE.md or LICENSE.rst) in the root of the repository

ct
.a
w
w
w

Answer: D
Explanation:

You can configure a GitHub Actions workflow to be triggered when an event occurs in your repository,
such as a pull request being opened or an issue being created. Your workflow contains one or more jobs
which can run in sequential order or in parallel. Each job will run inside its own virtual machine runner, or
inside a container, and has one or more steps that either run a script that you define or run an action,
which is a reusable extension that can simplify your workflow.

What are some of the features available in GitHub Desktop?

A. command-line interface for Git, real-time collaboration, and project milestones

le

B. web-based code editing, file versioning, and repository hosting

ua

C. local repository management, branch creation, and a visual interface

D. automated testing, continuous integration, and deployment pipelines
ct

Answer: C
.a
w

Explanation:
w

GitHub Desktop is useful for beginning and advanced users. Benefits include:
w

Get started easily. If you're new to Git and GitHub, you may find it easier to use GitHub Desktop than to
use Git on the command line. GitHub Desktop has a graphical user interface that simplifies commands
and helps you visualize changes.

Find commands. Because GitHub Desktop has a visual interface, you can easily access less-common
Git commands, such as choosing which changed lines to include in a commit or adding a co-author to a
commit, without needing to memorize or look up syntax.

Follow best practices. GitHub Desktop encourages best practices. For example, it helps you to create an
accurate and easy-to-follow commit history so other collaborators on a project can easily review yourwork.

Integrate with GitHub. GitHub Desktop is specifically designed for use with GitHub. For example, you
can authenticate to GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise Server quickly without needing to use a separate
credential manager. You can also check out a pull request to run checks without needing to open your
browser.

WRONG ANSWERS:

• Web-based code editing, file versioning, and repository hosting are features associated with
github.com, not GitHub Desktop

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 10

• automated testing, continuous integration, and deployment pipelines are functionalities often
associated with continuous integration tools, not GitHub Desktop

What is the difference between an issue template and an issue form?

du
A. issue templates merely provide text that contributors can remove and replace with their own
input, but a form enables you to build structured forms with required fields and easy-to-follow

m
steps to ensure you don't miss important details
B. issue templates are provided by GitHub by default, but issue forms are found in the GitHub
xa
Marketplace and can help with quickly resolving issues submitted by users
C. issue templates are submitted through the GitHub UI, but issue forms are committed directly
le

to the repository through a merge request

ua

D. issue templates are built in Markdown, while issue forms require knowledge of HTML to build
out different components of the desired form to capture data from the user submitting the issue
in GitHub
ct
.a

Answer: A
w

Explanation:
w

You can create custom issue forms by adding a YAML form definition file to the
w

/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder in your repository. You can define different input types, validations,
default assignees, and default labels for your issue forms.
When a contributor fills out an issue form, their responses for each input are converted to markdown and
added to the body of an issue. Contributors can edit their issues created with issue forms, and other
people can interact with the issues like an issue created through other methods.

WRONG ANSWERS:

• issue templates are built in markdown, but forms are built using YAML, not HTML

• issue templates and issue forms are not provided by GitHub, but are created by GitHub maintainers in
an attempt to capture the correct information from the user submitting the data

• there is no difference between where issues and forms can be created

In a company using GitHub Enterprise for managing multiple projects, an administrator needs to
assign a user the ability to manage teams and members within a repository, but not the ability to

om
delete the repository. Which repository permission level should the administrator assign to this
user?

.c
A. Maintain
B. Admin

ps
C. Write
D. Read

m
du
Answer: B
Explanation:

m
Admin -> Correct. Admin permission allows a user to manage the repository's settings, including adding
xa
and removing collaborators, managing teams and members, and also includes the ability to delete the
repository.
Read -> Incorrect. The Read permission allows a user to clone and view the repository, but does not
le

include any administrative privileges such as managing teams or members.

ua

Write -> Incorrect. While Write permission enables a user to push changes to the repository and manage
issues and pull requests, it does not grant the ability to manage teams and repository settings.
Maintain -> Incorrect. The Maintain permission allows for management of the repository without access
ct

to sensitive or destructive actions like deleting the repository. However, it does not allow the
management of teams, which involves higher-level administrative functions.

Question: 14
w

What is a key difference between GitHub Discussions and GitHub Issues when used for project
w

collaboration?
w

A. Discussions are intended for questions and general conversation, while Issues are for tracking
tasks and bugs.
B. Discussions can only be created by repository administrators.
C. Issues are visible only to repository collaborators, while Discussions are public.
D. Issues support markdown, while Discussions do not.

Answer: A
Explanation:

Discussions are intended for questions and general conversation, while Issues are for tracking tasks and
bugs. -> Correct. Discussions serve as a platform for general, open-ended conversations and community
engagement, whereas Issues are specifically designed to track actionable items like tasks and bugs.
Issues support markdown, while Discussions do not. -> Incorrect. Both GitHub Discussions and Issues
support markdown for formatting text.

Discussions can only be created by repository administrators. -> Incorrect. Discussions can be created

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 12

by any user with sufficient permissions, not just administrators.

Issues are visible only to repository collaborators, while Discussions are public. -> Incorrect. Visibility for

om
both Issues and Discussions can be configured, but neither is inherently restricted to collaborators or
public by default.

What is the primary purpose of GitHub Pages, and in what scenarios would you typically use
them?

m
A. GitHub Pages are meant for hosting and displaying the repository's source code for public

du
viewing
B. GitHub Pages allow you to run server-side scripts to enhance the functionality of a repository
C. GitHub Pages serve as a version control system for managing changes in a repository

m
D. GitHub Pages allow you to publish web pages directly from your repository, making them ideal
xa
for showcasing project documentation, a portfolio, or project-related content
le

Answer: D
ua

Explanation:

You can use GitHub Pages to host a website about yourself, your organization, or your project directly
ct

from a repository on GitHub.com. GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service that takes HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript files straight from a repository on GitHub, optionally runs the files through a build
.a

process, and publishes a website.

w

WRONG ANSWERS:
w

• GitHub Pages are not specifically designed for hosting and displaying the repository's source code.
w

They are more commonly used for publishing web pages related to the project.

• GitHub Pages is not a version control system. It is a feature for hosting and publishing web pages
directly from a repository.

• GitHub Pages do not run server-side scripts, and their primary purpose is not to enhance the
functionality of a repository.

Which of the following security and analysis settings are always enabled on public repositories?
ct

A. secret scanning alerts for users

B. dependency graph
.a

C. vulnerability reporting
w

D. dependabot alerts
w

Answer: B
w

Explanation:

People with admin permissions to a repository can manage security and analysis settings for the
repository. You can manage a subset of security and analysis features for public repositories. Other
features are permanently enabled, including dependency graph and secret scanning alerts for
partners.

WRONG ANSWERS:

• GitHub allows you to enable or disable the ability to receive alerts for vulnerabilities that affect your
dependencies and manually generate Dependabot pull requests to resolve these vulnerabilities

• Some public repositories configure security advisories so that anyone can report security vulnerabilities
directly and privately to the maintainers. Owners and administrators of public repositories can enable or
disable private vulnerability reporting on their repositories.

• Secret scanning alerts for users are available for free on all public repositories, and for private and
internal repositories that are owned by organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud with a license for

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 14

GitHub Advanced Security. When you enable secret scanning for a repository, GitHub scans the code
for patterns that match secrets used by many service providers. GitHub will always send alerts to

om
partners for detected secrets in public repositories, but secrets scanning alerts for users can be enabled
or disabled on public repositories.

Which of the following statements is true regarding assigning users to an issue or pull request in
GitHub? (select three)
le

A. you can assign an unlimited number of assignees to an issue or pull request

ua

B. assignees clarify who is working on specific issues and pull requests

C. you can assign multiple people to each issue or pull request
D. anyone with write access to a repository can assign issues and pull requests.
ct
.a

Answer: B, C, D
w

Explanation:
w

Assigning issues helps clarify responsibility, streamlining collaboration and task management. This
w

practice ensures that team members are aware of who is handling specific issues. You can assign
multiple people to each issue or pull request, including yourself, anyone who has commented on the
issue or pull request, anyone with write permissions to the repository, and organization members with
read permissions to the repository.

WRONG ANSWER:

• Issues and pull requests in public repositories and in private repositories for a paid account can have up to
10 people assigned. Private repositories on the free plan are limited to one person per issue or pullrequest.

third-party tools.

ps
Answer: A

m
Explanation:

du
Use the search bar at the top of the repository page, typing specific keywords and using qualifiers to
narrow results. -> Correct. The search bar at the top of the GitHub repository page allows you to enter
keywords and use specific qualifiers (like is:issue or label:bug) to filter and find issues effectively.

m
Write a script using GitHub API to fetch and filter issues based on specified parameters. -> Incorrect.
While using the GitHub API is a way to programmatically fetch and filter issues, this method is not the
xa
direct method for searching and filtering issues through the GitHub user interface.
Issues can only be filtered by date directly on GitHub; other filters need to be applied through third-party
tools. -> Incorrect. GitHub allows a wide range of filters directly on the platform, including labels,
le

assignees, states (open or closed), and more, not just by date.

Go to the repository settings, access the Issues tab, and set up filters for viewing on the main issue
ua

tracker. -> Incorrect. Issue filtering does not require access to repository settings; filters are applied
directly in the issue tracker interface on the repository's main issues page.

Organization owners can require two-factor authentication in their organization for all of the
w

following except:
w

A. outside collaborators
w

B. organization members
C. billing managers
D. repository viewers

Answer: D

Explanation:

Organization owners can require organization members, outside collaborators, and billing managers to
enable two-factor authentication for their personal accounts, making it harder for malicious actors to
access an organization's repositories and settings. Repository viewers who have read-only access to
repositories, are not subject to the organization-wide two-factor authentication requirement.

WRONG ANSWERS:

• Organization owners can require two-factor authentication for all members of the organization to
enhance security.

computer, and run git init in the unzipped folder to clone the repository.
D. Navigate to the repository on GitHub, click on the "Code" button, copy the HTTPS URL provided,
ua

and execute git clone followed by the URL in your command line.
ct

Answer: D
.a

Explanation:
w

Navigate to the repository on GitHub, click on the "Code" button, copy the HTTPS URL provided, and
w

execute git clone followed by the URL in your command line. -> Correct. This is the standard procedure
for cloning a repository. The "Code" button provides the necessary URL for cloning, which can be used
w

with the git clone command.

Go to the repository page, click on the "Issues" tab, copy the URL from the browser's address bar, and use
git clone followed by the URL in your terminal. -> Incorrect. The "Issues" tab is unrelated to cloning;it is
used for tracking repository issues. The correct URL for cloning is found under the "Code" button.
First, send a request to the repository owner for cloning permissions, and upon approval, use git pull with
the repository URL provided by the owner. -> Incorrect. Cloning a repository does not require special
permissions from the owner for public repositories, and git pull is used to fetch and merge changes froma
remote repository, not to clone it.
On the repository's main page on GitHub, download a ZIP file of the project, unzip it on your computer,and
run git init in the unzipped folder to clone the repository. -> Incorrect. Downloading a ZIP file and unzipping
it is a way to obtain the files but does not constitute cloning. git init creates a new Git repository, not clone
an existing one.

Question: 22

How are commits related to pull requests?

A. Commits are made on a branch that can have a linked pull request.

GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 17

B. Commits can only be made after a pull request is created.

om
C. Commits can only be made before a pull request is created.

D. Commits are made on a pull request that can have a linked branch.

.c
Answer: A

ps
Explanation:

m
Commits and pull requests (PRs) are fundamental concepts in Git and GitHub workflows, particularly in
collaborative software development.

du
Commits:

m
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.
xa
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.
le

Pull Requests (PRs):

ua

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.
ct

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

target branch.
w

Relationship Between Commits and PRs:

w

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
w

into the target branch.

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.

Incorrect Options:

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

Option C is incorrect because it suggests that commits can only be made before a pull request is created,
which is not true.

Option D is incorrect because commits are not made on a pull request; they are made on a branch. The
pull request links a branch to another branch (e.g., feature branch to the main branch).

Question: 23

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

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

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

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

du
D. Outside collaborators do not consume paid licenses.

m
xa Answer: A

Explanation:
le

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
ua

organization but has been granted access to one or more repositories within the organization.

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

ct

Organization Members:
.a

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

the organization. These permissions might include read, write, or admin access, depending on what has
been set as the default.
w

Members consume paid licenses if the organization is on a paid plan.

w

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

Collaborators:

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

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

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

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

Question: 24

m
What are the defining features of Git?

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

m
with efficiency

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

C. Low-cost local branching, convenient staging areas, multiple workflows, and being designed for
managing small projects
ua

D. Centralized version control, proprietary software, and being designed for small projects
ct

Answer: A
.a

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

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:

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

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 20

itself is a version control tool.

om
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

.c
is open-source, not proprietary, and is used for projects of all sizes.

xa
Who can be assigned to an Issue or pull request?
le

(Each answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

ua

A. Anyone who has an enterprise GitHub account

ct

B. Anyone who has commented on the Issue or pull request

.a

C. Anyone who has a personal GitHub account

w

D. Anyone with write permissions to the repository

w

Answer: B, D
w

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:

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.

www.actualexamdumps.com
GitHub-Foundations Dumps Demo Page 21

Incorrect Options:

om
Option A is incorrect because having an enterprise GitHub account alone does not necessarily grant the
ability to be assigned to issues or PRs. Permission to assign is based on repository-specific roles and
permissions.

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

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

Question: 26
le

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

A. Insights
ct

B. Pull Requests
.a

C. Projects
w

D. Wikis
w

Answer: D
w

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 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.
