GitHub has opened a new office in Amsterdam and is celebrating with two events aimed at engaging the local and visiting tech community. The first event, GitHub Patchwork, is scheduled for October 28, 2015, at WeWork in Amsterdam, designed as an informal, hands-on workshop for beginners to learn Git and GitHub with the aid of community mentors. Participants will gain practical experience, including making their first pull request. The second event, a GitHub Meetup on October 29 at B. Amsterdam, offers a talk on "Git and GitHub Secrets," along with food, drinks, and networking opportunities with GitHub enthusiasts and open-source developers. Both events are free, with the Patchwork event requiring an RSVP, while the Meetup is open without registration.
