The Patchwork hack night, scheduled for February 4, 2015, at iXperience in Cape Town, is a hands-on workshop designed for beginners to learn Git and GitHub, requiring no prior coding experience. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own open-source project, achieve a merged Pull Request, and gain confidence to engage more in the open-source community. The event will feature GitHub staff and local community mentors offering guidance and support, beginning with an introductory talk from a GitHubber about their programming journey, followed by small group work on the Hello World tutorial, and concluding with a lightning talk from a community member about their open-source experiences. The workshop aims to foster a collaborative learning environment with food and refreshments provided, and encourages both newcomers and experienced mentors to RSVP to participate.
