# GitHub Issues Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
This dataset contains **40 public GitHub issues** collected from a repository of choice. |
|
|
Although 100 issues were requested from the GitHub API, **pull requests were excluded**, reducing the dataset to 40 true issues. |
|
|
|
|
|
It includes metadata about each issue, such as the author, creation date, labels, and content, as well as **derived fields** for analysis. |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset was created as part of a **Task 1 Assessment** for a data course, to demonstrate: |
|
|
- API data collection |
|
|
- Data augmentation |
|
|
- Publishing datasets on Hugging Face Hub |
|
|

## Data Collection Method |
|
|
- Data was collected using the **GitHub Issues API** (`requests` library in Python). |
|
|
- Only **public issues** were retrieved; no private data or personally identifiable information was included. |
|
|
- **Derived fields** (`year`, `month`, `title_length`, `body_length`) were added for analysis purposes. |
|
|
- `actual_comments` was fetched from the issue comments endpoint to supplement the original `comments_count`. |
|

## Licensing |

|
|

|
|
## Limitations |
|
|
- Small sample size: **40 issues only** (after filtering out pull requests); not representative of all GitHub repositories. |
|
|
- Possible **labeling bias**, as labels depend on repository maintainer conventions. |
|
|
- Only issues in **English** were collected. |
|
|
- No guarantees on completeness; the dataset may contain truncated issue bodies. |
|
|

## Ethical Considerations |
|
|
- Only public data used. |
|
|
- No private, sensitive, or personally identifiable information collected. |
|
|
- Compliant with **ethical and legal standards** for open-source data use. |
