Summary

A Patchwork hack night is scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2014, at TechColumbus, designed as a hands-on workshop for beginners to learn Git and GitHub without requiring prior coding experience. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own open-source project and achieve their first merged Pull Request, supported by GitHub staff and local mentors. The event will feature introductory talks, group work on the Hello World tutorial, and a closing lightning talk on open-source experiences. Attendees can expect to learn Git concepts, receive guidance on using the GitHub Flow, and enjoy food and refreshments, with options for dietary preferences. Mentors will be briefed in advance about the curriculum and expectations for the evening.
