Rachel FazioThis week we are going to switch it up a bit! If you are new here, I normally use this “What I Learned This Week” segment to discuss relevant posts on #codenewbie and/or #beginners that relate to things I have been interested in this week.
If you haven't peeped the CodeNewbie tag or CodeNewbie Team Page, here are those things!

However, this week, with our Github + DEV Hackathon that was just announced, I am here to post a couple of Github-related articles that I found interesting/potentially helpful for y’all who maybe want to enter the Hackathon!
Here is the info for the Hackathon if you missed it:
Also (side note) for y’all who are beginners who are maybe feeling the whole “why would I enter, I am not good enough to win” imposter syndrome-vibe, this is also a friendly reminder that if you participate by sending in a valid project, you get a free DEV Sticker Pack + a badge for your profile STILL! So, if you are looking to explore new things, but only have the time/capacity for a small project, go for it anyways!
Here we go! Here are my biggest tips and resources for Github + open-source.
If you need a general introduction to Github and/or Git, look no further!
If you want an introduction to open-source projects, here is your pick:
Our very own @jess made a open-source guide for beginners YEARS ago that still holds up great! Find that here!
If you are looking for a tutorial on Github in quite literally anything (well, not anything but a lot of things), here are some great repositories!
Okay y'all, that is about it for this week! I hope everyone has a great week, let me know what you are learning OR let me know what your biggest tips for beginners to open-source and/or Github are below!!!
