We are back for another edition of the GitHub User Group. This month we dive into using Copilot and AI to enhance the design workflow, and look at how we can leverage AI in our GitHub Actions. **Product Design with Source Control: Using GitHub, AI, and Preview Builds as Your Source of Truth \~ [Walt Lim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/waltzaround/)** In this talk, Walt shares how he uses GitHub and AI to rethink the design process, moving beyond traditional prototypes to code as the source of truth. By using pull requests and ephemeral preview builds, he creates fast, realistic, and testable environments where ideas can be reviewed, iterated, and validated in context. Combined with AI-assisted workflows, this approach helps his team move quicker, reduce ambiguity, and make better decisions with less overhead **From One PR to Another: Agentic Workflows on GitHub \~ [Sinan Nar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinannar/)** A live demo of using AI-driven workflows to trigger actions across repositories—automatically creating a PR in a second repo when changes are merged. bio: Sinan is an Apps and AI Consultant at ARINCO, a Microsoft and GitHub partner consultancy. He co-organises the Aotearoa Azure User Group and the Auckland .NET User Group.

At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment. Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

We'll get in around 4 miles at Three Creeks Metro Parks, primarily natural trails. 17-18 minute miles, no one left behind, and faster walkers are free to lead out. Optional lunch after! If you're joining for hiking all the metro parks, this is the sixth one!

This meetup is a beginner-friendly session introducing version control for Unity projects, with a look at three common tools: Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control. The goal is to help you understand what version control is, why it matters for Unity development, and what options are out there. The format will likely be presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. You'll see each tool in action and learn how they fit into a Unity workflow. What to Expect: * An introduction to version control and why it's essential for Unity projects * An overview of Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control * Demos of each tool in a Unity workflow * Tips for getting started * No prior version control experience required * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome. Whether you're new to version control or already using one of these tools, this session will help you understand what each one offers. Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn more about version control options for Unity.
