# GitHub Issue with Comments – Hugging Face/datasets Repository

## Dataset Summary
This dataset contains 1,945 structured GitHub issue comments collected from the huggingface/datasets repository. Each comment includes metadata such as author details, timestamps, reactions and association type. The dataset is ideal for analysing open-source community dynamics, sentiment trends, contributor behaviour and natural language patterns in technical discussions.

## Dataset Structure
## 📊 Fields Overview

| Field Group            | Description                                                                 |
|------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Issue Metadata**     | `url`, `repository_url`, `html_url`, `id`, `node_id`, `number`, `title`, `body`, `state`, `locked`, `comments`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `closed_at`, `state_reason` |
| **User Info**          | `user.login`, `user.id`, `user.type`, `user.site_admin`                     |
| **Reactions**          | Counts for `+1`, `-1`, `laugh`, `hooray`, `confused`, `heart`, `rocket`, `eyes` |
| **Labels**             | Nested structure containing label `name`, `color`, `description`            |

| **Comments**           | `comments_url`, integer count `comments`, and `comments_text` (list of comment bodies) |
| **Pull Request Exclusion** | Boolean field `is_pull_request` used for filtering                    |
| **Derived Data**       | `comments_text` is a list of comment strings retrieved using GitHub API calls |


## Data Types

| Type           | Example Columns                                                                 |

## Source
- Repository: huggingface/datasets
- API Endpoint: https://api.github.com/repos/huggingface/datasets/issues
- Collection Method: API calls (per_page=100, page=1–40). Automated retrieval via GitHub API (authenticated requests) using Python requests and pandas.
- Collection Date: 15 Oct 2025
- License: GitHub content is subject to GitHub Terms of Service

## Intended Uses
- NLP Tasks: Sentiment analysis, topic modelling, summarisation
- Community Analytics: Contributor engagement, reaction trends
- Model Training: Fine-tuning on technical dialogue and bug reporting
- Feature Engineering: Text length, emoji usage, time-based features, user roles

## Limitations
- Comments are limited to public issues only.
- Incomplete comment history: Only the first 100 comments per issue may be retrieved due to GitHub pagination limits unless further expanded.
- Temporal Bias: The dataset represents the repository state at the time of collection; issue activity is continuously evolving.
- Limited coverage: Data reflects the practices of one repository (huggingface/datasets), not all open-source projects.

## Dataset Creation script
- Data was collected using Python requests library by GitHub REST API:
- url = "https://api.github.com/repos/huggingface/datasets/issues?page={page}&per_page=100&state=all"
- headers = {"Authorization": f"token {your_token}"}
- response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
- Comments were flattened into a tabular format. Timestamps were parsed, and nested fields (e.g., user, reactions) were expanded.

## License
- License Name: BigScience OpenRAIL-M License
- The dataset is available for responsible research.
- No harmful, unethical or malicious applications are derived from it.
- Proper attribution to data sources (GitHub and Hugging Face) is maintained.

## Ethical Considerations
- All data is publicly available via GitHub’s API.
- Usernames and profile links are included; please respect contributor privacy and avoid misuse.

## Privacy considerations
- All data was collected from publicly accessible GitHub issue comments via the GitHub REST API.
- Usernames, profile URLs and other metadata are included as part of the original public content.
- No private or sensitive data was collected or included.

## Storage and Distribution:
- The dataset is stored and distributed via the Hugging Face Hub.
- Download size: ~3.85MB
- Number of records: 1,945
