I really don't understand those certificate business on computer related skills. It changes too rapidly and certificate of last year doesn't guarantee the current skill.

Anyway, I quickly glanced the sample exam questions.

> Which statements are true about GitHub Marketplace?

Honestly, I have never heard about the term GitHub Marketplace at all. Frankly, I don't want to relies on random proprietary SaaS apps somebody selling on random software distribution platforms.

> What is a workflow?

I don't know. Isn't it possible to (indirectly)achieve every candidates by GitHub Actions? Also, the term is used vague even by GitHub itself. The GitHub documents refer to flow or actions or whatever.

> Which statements are true about organizational membership

I don't know. Is reciting this knowledge helps on any way meaningful?

> How does GitHub alert you for security vulnerabilities?

How do I suppose to know that without getting any alert previosuly? By reading every GitHub documents and committing it to the brain?

Isn't that how one normally prepares for an exam?

It is. Does that knowledge help to use git/GitHub in any way? If you can have a certificate without practically using git/GitHub while people who use git/GitHub every day failed to get one because they don't bother to flash card GitHub trivia, is that certificate worth something?

I don't think too much of their certificate, because it looks like typical marketing bullshit from a huge corporation. But I think you can use pointless stuff like this to your advantage: to demonstrate that you can be up the job, that you can handle situations like this professionally.

What product is there which both has a certificate and changes each year enough that the difference can't be covered in less than an hour of reading about the new features?
