GH-900 Exam Dumps - GitHub Foundations

When creating custom issue forms on GitHub, the definition files are stored in the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder. This directory is used to define issue templates and forms that help standardize the information collected when users open new issues in the repository. The .github folder is a special directory used for various repository configurations and workflows.

GitHub Desktop is a graphical interface that allows users to interact with GitHub repositories. It simplifies certain Git operations without the need for command-line usage.

GitHub Desktop Capabilities:

Option C is correct because GitHub Desktop allows users to add local repositories to their GitHub account, clone repositories from GitHub to their local machine, and manage repositories effectively.

Incorrect Options:

Option A is incorrect because GitHub Desktop does not support creating or managing issues directly; this is done through the GitHub web interface.

Option B is incorrect because reviewing and approving pull requests is also managed through the GitHub web interface.

Option D is incorrect because commenting on discussions is done on the GitHub platform, not through GitHub Desktop.

Option E is incorrect because GitHub Desktop does not integrate with office suite software.

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.

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

Organization Members:

Members are subject to the organization's base permissions, which apply across all repositories within the organization. These permissions might include read, write, or admin access, depending on what has been set as the default.

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.

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."

In Git, a branch is a fundamental concept that represents an independent line of development within a project. Here's a more detailed explanation:

Branch in Git:

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

Other Options:

Option A is incorrect because while a branch does point to a specific commit (which represents a snapshot of the project), the description lacks the emphasis on the isolated and parallel development aspect that is critical to the understanding of branches.

Option B is incorrect because a branch is not a physical copy stored on disk; it is a logical reference within the repository.

Option D is incorrect because that description better fits the concept of a fork, not a branch. A fork is a new repository that is a copy of another repository, usually used to contribute back to the original ("upstream") repository.

GitHub provides several pre-defined repository roles that determine the level of access and permissions a user has within a repository. The roles that are included by default are:

Triage: Allows users to manage issues and pull requests without write access to the code.

Maintain: Provides more extensive access, including managing settings, but without full administrative control.

Write: Grants permission to push changes and manage issues and pull requests.

Roles like "Security" and "Delete" are not standard pre-defined roles, and "View" is generally referred to as "Read" in GitHub's permission structure.

=================

From a discussion post on GitHub, a user can Create an issue from the discussion. This feature allows users to turn a discussion into an actionable item by creating an issue directly from the discussion thread. This is particularly useful when a conversation identifies a bug, task, or enhancement that needs to be tracked in the repository.

=================

Pull requests are created to propose changes from one branch to another. These branches must be different; otherwise, there would be no changes to propose. Typically, pull requests are made from a feature or topic branch to a main branch (such as main or master), allowing for code review and integration before the changes are merged.

=================

GitHub Copilot for Business offers several features that are tailored to the needs of organizations, providing more control, security, and support compared to the individual version.

Organization-wide Policy Management:

Option B is correct because Copilot for Business allows organizations to manage policies across their entire user base, providing control over how Copilot is used within the organization.

Blocking Suggestions Matching Public Code:

Option C is correct because Copilot for Business includes enhanced security features, such as blocking code suggestions that match public code to prevent inadvertent use of unlicensed code.

Support for Organization or Enterprise GitHub Accounts:

Option E is correct because Copilot for Business supports integration with GitHub Enterprise accounts, offering additional administrative controls and integration capabilities.

Incorrect Options:

Option A (multi-line function suggestions) is a feature available in both individual and business versions, so it does not differentiate the business offering.

Option D (VPN proxy support via self-signed certificates) is not a primary differentiator of Copilot for Business.

Option F (plugs directly into the editor) is true for both individual and business versions, so it is not unique to Copilot for Business.
