GitHub Issues – huggingface/datasets (raw)
Dataset Summary
A corpus of GitHub issues and pull requests from the JPEG XL support repository. Created as a practice exercise following AT1-Task01 and Hugging Face LLM Course ("Creating your own dataset").
How the data was collected
- Source: GitHub REST API (
/repos/huggingface/datasets/issues,state=all) - Collected on: 2026-10-05
- Pull requests are included; they can be identified by the
pull_requestfield (it isNonefor regular issues). - This "raw" version keeps the original API fields with minimal processing and does not include issue comments.
Data Collection Process
- Authentication: A read-only GitHub personal access token was stored in Kaggle Secret Key , and loaded at runtime. It was never written into the notebook.
- Collection: Issues and pull requests were requested from the GitHub REST API
using Python
requests, page by page, staying within GitHub's rate limit of 5,000 requests per hour. - Raw storage: Responses were saved as a JSON Lines file.
- Loading: The file was loaded with `datasets.load_dataset.
- Cleaning: 100 duplicate records (caused by a pagination error) were removed using
numberas a unique key. - Augmentation: Derived fields were added.
- Publishing: The dataset was pushed to the Hugging Face Hub with
push_to_hub(), authenticated with a Hugging Face write token stored in Secret Keys.
Dataset Structure
Each row is one issue or pull request. Key fields:
number– issue/PR numbertitle– titlebody– description textlabels– GitHub labelsstate– open or closedcreated_at,closed_at– timestampspull_request– present only for pull requests
Intended Uses
- Learning to build and share datasets with 🤗 Hugging Face Datasets
- Exploring how long issues take to close
- Multilabel classification of issue labels
- Semantic search over issues
