## 🚀 Usage |
|
|
|
|
|
### Load with 🤗 Datasets |
|
|
```python |
|
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
# Load the full dataset |
|
|
dataset = load_dataset("Ruslan10/github-issues") |
|
|
|
|
|
# Access the training split |
|
|
train_data = dataset["train"] |
|
|
|
|
|
# Example: Get first issue's title and body |
|
|
print(train_data[0]["title"]) |
|
|
print(train_data[0]["body"][:200] + "...") # Preview first 200 chars |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Filter Pull Requests vs Issues |
|
|
```python |
|
|
# Separate PRs from regular issues |
|
|
pull_requests = [ex for ex in train_data if ex["is_pull_request"]] |
|
|
regular_issues = [ex for ex in train_data if not ex["is_pull_request"]] |
|
|
|
|
|
print(f"PRs: {len(pull_requests)}, Issues: {len(regular_issues)}") |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Analyze Labels Distribution |
|
|
```python |
|
|
from collections import Counter |
|
|
|
|
|
all_labels = [] |
|
|
for issue in train_data: |
|
|
for label in issue["labels"]: |
|
|
all_labels.append(label["name"]) |
|
|
|
|
|
label_counts = Counter(all_labels).most_common(10) |
|
|
print("Top 10 labels:", label_counts) |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
### Extract Comment Threads |
|
|
```python |
|
|
# Get all comments for a specific issue |
|
|
issue = train_data[42] |
|
|
for i, comment in enumerate(issue["comments"]): |
|
|
print(f"Comment {i+1}: {comment[:100]}...") # Preview |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
--- |
|
|
|
|
|
## 💡 Example Applications |
|
|
|
|
|
- **Issue Triage**: Classify issues by priority/severity using labels and metadata |
|
|
- **Auto-Tagging**: Predict appropriate labels based on title/body content |
|
|
- **Duplicate Detection**: Find similar issues using semantic similarity |
|
|
- **PR Prediction**: Forecast whether an issue will become a pull request |
|
|
- **Sentiment Analysis**: Analyze developer emotions in comments/reactions |
|
|
- **Knowledge Extraction**: Build QA systems over project documentation in issues |
|
|
|

## ⚠️ Limitations & Considerations |
|
|
|
|
|
| Aspect | Note | |
|
|
|--------|------| |
|
|
| **Bias** | Reflects patterns of active OSS projects; may underrepresent niche ecosystems | |
|
|
| **Privacy** | All data is from public GitHub repositories (no private data included) | |
|
|
| **Language** | Primarily English; limited multilingual support | |
|
|
| **Temporal Scope** | Snapshot from collection period; doesn't reflect real-time GitHub state | |
|
|
| **Rate Limits** | Original collection respected GitHub API rate limits | |
|
|
