Capstone: the GH-900 GitHub Portfolio Challenge

The final project for the course. It pulls every exam domain into one piece of verifiable proof that you can use GitHub, not just answer questions about it.

What you will build

A small but complete GitHub presence: a profile, a project repository, a published portfolio site, and one real open-source contribution.

The checklist

Work through these in order. Each maps to one or more exam domains.

  • Create a GitHub profile README (a repo named after your username with a README.md) - domains 1.0, 2.0
  • Create a repository with a clear README - domain 2.0
  • Open three issues and add labels - domains 3.0, 5.0
  • Create a Project board and add your issues to it - domain 5.0
  • Create a branch and make at least two commits - domain 1.0
  • Open a pull request that links an issue with a closing keyword - domain 3.0
  • Merge the pull request and confirm the issue closed - domain 3.0
  • Add a SECURITY.md file - domain 6.0
  • Enable two-factor authentication on your account - domain 6.0
  • Publish a GitHub Pages portfolio - domain 2.0
  • Fork the collaboration sandbox and submit a contribution pull request - domains 3.0, 7.0
  • Add a LICENSE to your project repository - domain 7.0

How to submit

Gather these four links as your proof and submit them wherever your cohort or the Certy course asks:

GitHub profile URL:  https://github.com/<your-username>
Lab repo URL:        https://github.com/<your-username>/<your-repo>
GitHub Pages URL:    https://<your-username>.github.io/<your-repo>/
Pull request URL:    https://github.com/CertyPro/certy-gh900-collaboration-sandbox/pull/<n>

Why this matters

Most exam prep stops at multiple-choice. This capstone gives you a portfolio you can show an employer and a contribution history that proves the skills are real.
