# GitHub Issues Dataset

## Dataset Description

The **GitHub Issues Dataset** is a collection of publicly
available GitHub issues collected from the
[Hugging Face `datasets` repository](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets).

Each example represents a GitHub issue and contains information
such as the issue identifier, issue number, title, description,
state, timestamps, author, labels, original URL, and comments.

The dataset was collected using the GitHub GraphQL API with
cursor-based pagination.

The dataset is intended for research and experimentation in
Natural Language Processing (NLP), software engineering,
information retrieval, semantic search, issue analysis,
question answering, and Large Language Models (LLMs).
