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.
