Patchwork hack night, scheduled for November 5, 2014, at Dev Bootcamp Chicago, is an event designed to introduce newcomers to Git and GitHub through a hands-on workshop. This event aims to demystify Git terminology and processes, enabling participants to create their own open-source projects and achieve their first merged Pull Request. GitHub staff, including Arfon Smith and other local mentors, will guide attendees through the GitHub Flow and Hello World tutorial in small groups, fostering a collaborative learning environment. The evening will feature a talk from a GitHubber about their programming journey and conclude with a lightning talk by Derek Eder on his open-source experiences. The event is open to beginners and mentors, who are encouraged to RSVP and participate in this interactive learning opportunity.
