  GitHub repositories consist of various detailed information about the project
contributors, the number of commits and its contributors, releases, pull
requests, programming languages, and issues. However, no systematic dataset of
open source projects exists which features detailed information about the
repositories on GitHub for knowledge acquisition and mining. In this paper, we
developed tool support, named GitRepository, which helps in creating a data-set
of repositories based on the proposed schema. Out of initial 1680 repositories,
the dataset hosts 620 repositories (with applied basic filters of stars and
forks), and 247 repositories (after applying all pre-defined filters). The tool
extracts the information of GitHub repositories and saves the data in the form
of CSV. files and a database (.DB) file.
