1K 0` (1,975 zero-comment issues were skipped as an optimization). Comments were fetched with `per_page=100` to minimize pagination requests. 5. **Pushed the final dataset** (issues + comments) to the Hub. GitHub's authenticated rate limit (5,000 requests/hour) was respected throughout — the script sleeps until the rate-limit window resets when the budget is exhausted, with a one-hour fallback sleep if the reset header is missing. Transient network errors (`ConnectionError`, `Timeout`) and HTTP 5xx responses are retried with exponential backoff. ## Known Limitations - **262 missing issue numbers** in the range 1–8,346: these correspond to deleted issues/PRs on GitHub that cannot be retrieved via the API. This is expected and unavoidable. - **6 minor mismatches** between the `comments` count field and the length of `comments_text`: these occur when comments were added or deleted between the issue fetch and the comment fetch. The `comments` field reflects the count at fetch time; `comments_text` reflects the actual comments retrieved. - **`body` has 417 nulls** — some issues/PRs simply have no body text. - The dataset includes **both issues and pull requests** (GitHub's issues endpoint returns both). Use the `is_pull_request` column to filter. ## Potential Use Cases - **Issue classification:** Train a model to categorize issues (bug, enhancement, question, dataset request) based on title + body. - **Bug triage:** Predict which label an issue should have, or whether it's likely to be closed. - **Duplicate detection:** Find semantically similar issues using embeddings of title + body. - **Pull request summarization:** Summarize long PR bodies or comment threads. - **Software engineering research:** Analyze issue lifecycle, response times, contributor activity, label distributions, etc. - **LLM fine-tuning:** Build instruction-tuning datasets for "classify this issue" or "summarize this thread" tasks. ## Licensing The dataset is derived from public GitHub issue data from the [`huggingface/datasets`](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets) repository, which is licensed under [Apache 2.0](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/main/LICENSE).
