Patchwork is headed to Okayama, Japan! This event is open to beginners to Git and GitHub and mentors who want to help others learn. We’ll have stickers for everyone and a little something extra for the mentors, so we hope to see you there.
Special thanks to our partners for the event:
GitHubbers and community mentors will be on hand to walk the attendees through their choice of learning modules:
- git-it-electron: https://github.com/jlord/git-it-electron
This app consumes internet bandwidth, so we encourage you to download it at your home before joining the event.
No coding experience needed
Patchwork is a self-directed, hands-on workshop for learning Git and GitHub. The atmosphere is casual and informal—it’s not an event full of presented tutorials and copious note-taking. You’ll be able to go at your own pace with the help of a community mentor nearby in case you run into any trouble. Join us for a night of hacking and snacking, and make some new friends while you’re at it!
Newcomers to Git and GitHub: you’ll leave with a merged pull request, a square on your contributions graph, and the confidence to get more involved in the open source community.
Mentors: if you’ve ever had a pull request merged, now is your chance to share the love and help someone else create magic.
