Women’s History Month is here! As part of the festivities we’ll be highlighting organizations that get women more involved in tech and projects that are improving lives through tech where you can improve your GitHub skills.

But no check-in would complete, if we didn’t start with some praise for our excellent community members.

🌟Community Superstars: A round of applause for these community citizens 👏

• @koeppel: Shared their expertise so a fellow member could set up an account for their new company. They took the time to explain what solutions on GitHub could fit the company’s needs - topped off with some documentation. Excellent!
• @amankr1469: Loved their straightforward response of how to add and authenticate a personal access token.
• @ustireman: Asked a cool question about how to break up their commits into different pull requests. They’re still in need of assistance - if you can help go be someone’s hero!
