This is an open lab session where we will set up our local development environment for the Lasagna Love project. This would include forking the proper repositories and making sure our Git/Github setup is ready for contributing.

This is not a formal workshop, and we will not be covering how to use Git and Github. If you would like to learn to use Git, Github and the command line to contribute to Open Source check out the previous workshops in this series: Intro to Git, Github & the Terminal followed by Contributing to Open Source with Git & Github.

This is the final step in a series of open source workshops that will help developers that are new to open source prep for their 1st open source contributions to Project Ricotta for Lasagna Love. You should attend Intro to Git, Github & the Terminal or have previous experience with pushing, pulling, branching, and handling merge conflicts before attending this workshop. You should also attend Contributing to Open Source using Git & Github or have previous experience with forking, rebasing and fetching.

Follow our entire series and make your first open source contributions with Girl Develop It and Lasagna Love!
