Patchwork hack night is an event designed for beginners to learn Git and GitHub through a hands-on, self-directed workshop, taking place on January 25 at the London School of Economics. Hosted by GitHub staff and local community mentors, the event aims to guide participants through the Hello World tutorial and help them achieve their first merged pull request, fostering confidence to engage further with the open-source community. The atmosphere is casual and supportive, encouraging participants to learn at their own pace with assistance available from mentors. Attendees will also have the opportunity to network and make new friends while enjoying provided snacks and refreshments, with the venue being wheelchair-accessible. Prior registration is required, and participants are encouraged to create a free GitHub account before attending.
