Summary

Patchwork Night in Nashville, scheduled for October 29th, is an engaging event designed to introduce beginners to Git and GitHub in a hands-on workshop setting at The Bistro. Participants will enjoy an evening of learning, food, drinks, and community, as they work towards creating and merging their first Pull Request with guidance from experienced mentors, including GitHub staff and local community members. The event kicks off with a story about starting in programming, followed by a small-group tutorial, and concludes with a lightning talk by a community member on an open source project. Aimed at both newcomers and mentors, the event encourages collaboration and the sharing of knowledge, with mentors receiving specific guidance to aid attendees in the learning process. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP, whether they wish to learn or help guide others in the open source community.
