Patchwork is hosting an event in Hobart, Tasmania, aimed at beginners to Git and GitHub, as well as mentors interested in helping others learn. Scheduled for January 16, 2017, this informal and hands-on workshop provides a relaxed atmosphere where participants can learn at their own pace with guidance from community mentors. The workshop will cover introductions to Git and GitHub using specific learning modules, and no prior coding experience is necessary. Attendees will have the opportunity to leave the event with a merged pull request and a sense of confidence in engaging with the open source community. Mentors are encouraged to participate to share their knowledge and support new contributors. The event will take place at Wrest Point Hobart and will offer food and refreshments, with considerations for dietary restrictions. Participants are asked to RSVP and create a GitHub account beforehand to ensure a smooth start to the workshop.
