FAQs

Does a GitHub profile help with jobs?

A clear profile with well documented projects gives interviewers evidence of your practical work. It supports your applications but is not a substitute for skills and preparation.

Is GitHub Actions covered in depth?

The course covers writing workflows to test and deploy projects. DevOps training goes further into full CI/CD pipelines.

Should I take Git before GitHub?

Yes, or take them back to back. GitHub builds on Git concepts such as commits, branches and merging.
