A Patchwork hack night is being organized in Madison, Wisconsin, aiming to introduce beginners to Git and GitHub with the assistance of GitHub staff and local community mentors. Scheduled for April 6 at the Goodman Community Center, the event offers a casual, self-directed learning environment without formal tutorials, allowing participants to learn at their own pace with guidance available if needed. Attendees will have the opportunity to complete learning modules such as Introduction to Git, Introduction to GitHub, and Creating a Site with GitHub Pages, and will leave the event with practical experience, including a merged pull request and an addition to their contributions graph. Mentors are encouraged to assist newcomers, and the event promises an engaging atmosphere with food and refreshments provided. Participants are required to RSVP and are advised to create a GitHub account beforehand, with the venue being wheelchair-accessible and accommodating food allergies upon request.
