Summary

Patchwork is hosting an event in Seattle on July 21 for both beginners and mentors interested in learning and teaching Git and GitHub. This informal and self-directed workshop, taking place at MAKERS Coworking, aims to provide a relaxed environment for participants to explore various learning modules, including Introduction to Git, Introduction to GitHub, and Creating a Site with GitHub Pages, with no prior coding experience required. Attendees will receive guidance from GitHub employees and local mentors, leaving with practical skills such as a merged pull request and a contribution to their GitHub graph. Mentors are encouraged to share their knowledge and help newcomers navigate the open-source community. The event includes food and refreshments, is wheelchair accessible, and requires participants to RSVP and sign up for a GitHub account beforehand.
