Patchwork is hosting an event in Asheville, North Carolina, aimed at beginners looking to learn Git and GitHub, as well as mentors eager to assist others in their learning journey. The event, facilitated by GitHubbers and community mentors, offers various learning modules such as Introduction to GitHub and Managing merge conflicts, all within a relaxed, informal setting that encourages self-directed, hands-on learning. Taking place on May 9, 2018, at The Collider, attendees will gain practical experience and leave with a merged pull request and a square on their contributions graph, bolstering their confidence to engage more with the open-source community. Mentors are invited to share their knowledge and foster the development of future open-source contributors, with special appreciation given to them and all participants receiving stickers. The event promises an evening of learning, networking, and refreshments, with attendees encouraged to RSVP and sign up for a GitHub account in advance.
