In this video, I teach my friend JB–a musician and actor with nearly no experience coding–how to use git, Node.js and npm, and finally open his first pull request on GitHub . The task is to first clone the repo of my website from GitHub locally, then install dependencies with npm while understanding what npm is. We then run the project using the `npm run dev` command.

We also explore working with images on the web and adjusting them with squoosh.app. Eventually, we create a GitHub account, and after I invite him to my repo, he makes his first ever pull request. I then promptly approve and merge said pull request.
