Chertsey Your First Commit: Beginner's Journey

We're gathering in Chertsey for an afternoon focused on making your first commit to a real project. Whether you've been learning to code for a few weeks or a few months, this event is designed to walk you through the process in a supportive, low-pressure environment. You'll learn what a commit actually is, why it matters, and get hands-on help pushing your code to a repository for the first time. No question is too basic, and no one here is going to make you feel rushed.

The vibe is casual and collaborative. We'll have experienced developers around to help troubleshoot if things go sideways, but mostly we're here to celebrate the fact that you're taking this step. You'll meet other people at the same stage in their coding journey, which honestly makes a huge difference. Bring your laptop, bring your curiosity, and come ready to do something that might feel a little scary but will feel amazing once it's done.

If this sounds like something you've been meaning to do, this is your moment. Just RSVP so we know how many people to expect and can make sure we have enough space and support on the day.
