Summary

Patchwork Charlotte is hosting a hack night event on October 28, co-sponsored with Industry, aimed at beginners interested in learning Git and GitHub through a hands-on, self-directed workshop. The event, featuring GitHub staff and local mentors, promises an informal atmosphere where attendees can progress at their own pace, complete a "Hello World" tutorial, and achieve their first merged Pull Request, all without prior coding experience. Participants are encouraged to RSVP as either attendees or mentors, with the latter having the opportunity to guide newcomers in contributing to open source projects. The event, held at Industry in Charlotte, will provide food, refreshments, and ensures accessibility for all attendees.
