GitHub's Patchwork event on April 12 at Pipeline Philly offers a casual and informal setting for beginners to learn Git and GitHub, as well as for mentors to share their knowledge. Participants can choose from various learning modules, including Introduction to Git, Introduction to GitHub, and Creating a Site with GitHub Pages, without the need for prior coding experience. The event is designed to be self-directed and hands-on, allowing attendees to proceed at their own pace with support from community mentors. Attendees will leave with practical skills, including a merged pull request and increased confidence in contributing to the open-source community. The evening promises a blend of learning, networking, and socializing, with food and refreshments provided, and the venue is wheelchair-accessible.
