Summary

The Patchwork event in Atlanta on May 6 is designed for technical writers, content creators, documentation experts, and anyone interested in learning Git and GitHub, especially beginners and mentors looking to assist others. The casual, hands-on workshop offers learning modules on Git and GitHub, with no coding experience required, and allows attendees to work at their own pace with guidance from community mentors. The event, hosted by GitHub and local mentors, aims to provide newcomers with the experience of merging a pull request and contributing to the open-source community while offering mentors the opportunity to share their knowledge. Taking place at The Garage in Atlanta, the event is wheelchair-accessible and provides food and refreshments, with registration required for both participants and mentors.
