About Black Girls CODE

We build pathways for young women of color to embrace the current tech marketplace as builders and creators by introducing them to skills in computer programming and technology.

Radical action is needed if we are to close the opportunity gap for Black women and girls. We lead a global movement to establish equal representation in the tech sector. Black Girls CODE is devoted to showing the world that Black girls can code and do so much more. Together, we are creating stronger economies and more equitable societies—ultimately realizing the true potential of democracy through diversity and inclusion.

While the event is free, Sauce Labs encourages all attendees to donate to Black Girls Code. Sauce Labs Office of Inclusion & Sustainability will match donations up to $2500.

Setup

Sign up for account

Get your username and api key

Save your Sauce Labs Username and Access Key by going to the Sauce Labs user settings page

Gitpod setup

ℹ️ Gitpod lets you run an entire Dev environment from a browser! You can use this approach if you don't know how to set up a local Java environment.

Once the Gitpod.io URL is loaded, you will need to sign in with the GitHub account you created earlier
Once the development environment is loaded, you should see 'Ready to test!' in the Terminal window in the lower portion of the window, run the following commands in that Terminal to set your SAUCE_USERNAME and SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY:

ℹ️ You can get your Sauce Labs Username and Access Key by going to the Sauce Labs user settings page

eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_USERNAME=<sauce_username>)
eval $(gp env -e SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=<sauce_access_key>)

Replace <sauce_username> and <sauce_access_key> with your credentials

Once you have run those 2 commands, you can run the following commands to test your environment variables:

echo $SAUCE_USERNAME
echo $SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY
