GitHub YAML & Markdown Reference
GitHub certifications frequently test your knowledge of YAML syntax for Actions workflows and Markdown for documentation. Key YAML elements include workflow triggers (on:), jobs, steps, uses, run, env, and secrets. Understand the difference between workflow-level, job-level, and step-level configurations. For Markdown, know GitHub Flavoured Markdown (GFM) extensions like task lists, tables, and collapsible sections.
