ON-SITE 🤗 Open Source 101: practice your first OSS contribution

Free workshop. Drinks are provided.

Have you ever wanted to contribute to open source but didn’t know where to start? In this hands-on workshop, Yuichiro from Hugging Face will guide you through the fundamentals of contributing to open source software (OSS), from understanding what it means to making your very first pull request.

👥 Who is this for
Developers who are comfortable with coding and using Git/GitHub to manage their own projects, but have never contributed to an open source repository before.

🧭 What you’ll learn

• What open source contribution is, why it’s important, how to get started
• Hands-on practice with a mock repository to learn the basic workflow of OSS contribution: creating issues, making changes, and opening pull requests.
• For advanced audiences who already have something to contribute in mind, we may help you work on your own project instead of the mock repository.
