Patchwork hack night, scheduled for December 10, 2014, at Polygon in Atlanta, is a workshop aimed at beginners interested in learning Git and GitHub, requiring no prior coding experience. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to create their own open-source projects, culminating in a merged Pull Request and a square on their contributions graph, fostering confidence to further engage with the open-source community. The event will feature a GitHub designer and local mentors to provide guidance, starting with a talk from a GitHubber about their programming journey, followed by group activities focusing on the Hello World tutorial, and concluding with a community member's lightning talk. Attendees can RSVP to learn Git and GitHub, while experienced mentors are encouraged to join and assist newcomers. Food and refreshments will be provided, and mentors will receive preparatory details via email before the event.
