How to Prepare for GH-600
GH-600 preparation should make you better at reasoning through an agent workflow. The key pattern is task → context → instructions → tools → generated changes → review → responsible handoff.

Use GitHub documentation to confirm current terminology, supported behavior, responsible-use guidance, and session concepts. General AI content is less useful than documentation tied to GitHub Copilot coding-agent workflows.
Compare ordinary prompting, repository-guided agent work, custom agents, and implementation planning. Ask what context the agent needs and what human checkpoint should happen before changes are accepted.
For each scenario, trace the task from request to repository context, instructions, tool access, generated changes, review, and handoff. This prevents choosing an answer that solves the coding task while ignoring governance or review.
Practice identifying least privilege, secret exposure, untrusted content, prompt-injection risk, approval checkpoints, and sensitive data boundaries. Security is part of the agent workflow, not a separate afterthought.
Sort missed questions by cause: planning, repository context, instructions, custom agents, tools, MCP concepts, environment, sessions, review, security, responsible use, troubleshooting, or SDLC integration.
Verify the current skills measured and exam-delivery details with GitHub’s official GH-600 certification resources. Avoid relying on practice format claims or outdated third-party summaries.
