Summary

The upcoming Patchwork hack night on December 10 in Athens, Greece, co-hosted by GitHub and The Cube, offers a relaxed, hands-on workshop focused on learning Git and GitHub, catering to beginners without any coding experience. Participants will be guided by GitHub experts and local community mentors through the Hello World tutorial, creating their first open-source project, and achieving their first merged Pull Request. The event emphasizes a casual and informal atmosphere, allowing attendees to learn at their own pace, with support available from mentors. Participants can expect to leave with a better understanding of GitHub, a contribution to their graph, and increased confidence in engaging with the open-source community. Mentors are encouraged to assist newcomers and share their experience, and the event includes food and refreshments, with the venue being wheelchair-accessible.
