An upcoming Patchwork event in St. Louis on April 26 at CIC@CET offers a casual and interactive workshop for beginners to learn Git and GitHub, with guidance from GitHub employees and local mentors. Aimed at both novices and experienced mentors, the event provides a self-directed learning environment where participants can choose from modules such as Introduction to Git, Introduction to GitHub, and Creating a Site with GitHub Pages, all without requiring prior coding experience. Attendees will gain hands-on experience by working on their projects, with the opportunity to leave with a merged pull request and a boost in confidence to participate in the open-source community. The event includes snacks and networking opportunities, and attendees are encouraged to RSVP and create a GitHub account in advance to maximize their experience.
