Mastering GitHub

About this course

This 9-course learning path takes you from foundational Git and GitHub skills to building autonomous AI agent systems on the GitHub platform. You begin with repository creation and pull request workflows, then progress through authentication layers including SAML SSO, two-factor authentication, and Enterprise Managed Users. You configure access permissions using the principle of least privilege across enterprise, organization, team, and repository levels. In the platform courses, you build cloud developer workspaces with GitHub Codespaces, automate CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, and manage software distribution through GitHub Packages registries. The AI courses teach you to evaluate and integrate AI models, apply structured prompt engineering with GitHub Copilot, build AI-augmented testing pipelines, and govern AI-generated code in enterprise settings. The specialization culminates in autonomous agent workflows and a production application capstone that synthesizes all skills into a deployable system.
