Sample Practice Questions

• Question 1: An organization owner wants to ensure that all repositories created within the "FinTech-Core" organization automatically have a specific security policy applied. Which GitHub feature should be configured?

  • A, Individual Repository Settings

  • B, Organization Repository Defaults

  • C, GitHub Actions Workflow Templates

  • D, Repository Custom Properties and Rulesets

  • E, Personal Access Tokens (Classic)

  • F, Branch Protection Rules only

  • Correct Answer: D

  • Explanation:

    • D (Correct): Repository Rulesets, especially when combined with custom properties, allow administrators to enforce policies across multiple repositories within an organization automatically.

    • A (Incorrect): Managing individual settings is not scalable and does not ensure that new repositories follow the policy.

    • B (Incorrect): While defaults set initial states, they do not enforce ongoing security policies as effectively as rulesets.

    • C (Incorrect): Workflows can automate tasks but rulesets are the primary administrative tool for policy enforcement.

    • E (Incorrect): Tokens are for authentication, not for defining organization-wide repository policies.

    • F (Incorrect): Branch protection is a subset of rulesets; rulesets offer broader organizational control.

• Question 2: Which role is required to manage billing and payment methods for a GitHub Enterprise account?

  • A, Repository Administrator

  • B, Team Maintainer

  • C, Billing Manager

  • D, Outside Collaborator

  • E, Security Manager

  • F, GitHub App Manager

  • Correct Answer: C

  • Explanation:

    • C (Correct): The Billing Manager role is specifically designed to manage financial aspects without granting full administrative access to code.

    • A (Incorrect): Repository admins only have control over specific codebases, not organization-level billing.

    • B (Incorrect): Team maintainers manage members within a team, not the organization's financial settings.

    • D (Incorrect): Outside collaborators have the least amount of access and cannot touch billing.

    • E (Incorrect): Security managers oversee alerts and vulnerability reports, not payments.

    • F (Incorrect): This role is strictly for managing integrations and applications.

• Question 3: To comply with a new audit requirement, an administrator needs to export a list of all external collaborators across 50 repositories. What is the most efficient administrative approach?

  • A, Manually check each repository's settings page

  • B, Use the GitHub CLI or API to query the organization's members

  • C, Ask each team lead to send a list via email

  • D, Disable all external access and wait for complaints

  • E, Look at the global "Followers" list of the organization

  • F, Create a new repository to see who joins

  • Correct Answer: B

  • Explanation:

    • B (Correct): For large-scale administrative tasks, using the GitHub API or CLI is the standard professional method for accurate, automated reporting.

    • A (Incorrect): This is highly inefficient and prone to human error when dealing with 50+ repositories.

    • C (Incorrect): This is an unverified, non-administrative method that does not meet audit standards.

    • D (Incorrect): This causes business disruption and is not a reporting method.

    • E (Incorrect): Followers are not the same as collaborators with repository access.

    • F (Incorrect): This does not provide a historical or current view of existing access across other repos.
