    I recently finished the GitHub Actions Certification course by Andrew Brown on freeCodeCamp, and honestly, it’s an absolute lifesaver. If you’re studying for the GH-200 exam or just want to finally wrap your head around CI/CD pipelines, this is the only resource you need.

    Andrew breaks down everything from basic YAML workflows to complex enterprise security and runners without making it boring. I really loved the hands-on approach; you actually build real pipelines alongside him instead of just staring at endless slides. It’s perfectly paced, 100% free, and completely demystified GitHub Actions for me. Highly recommend coding along with it!
