| Scientific | 5,386 | ✓ |
| DevOps | 4,600 | ✓ |

**Cross-domain repositories**: 59,332 (14.9%)

## Motivation

Real-world code repositories are inherently messy, containing:
- Duplicate code and forked repositories
- Incomplete or experimental code snippets
- Mixed licensing conditions
- Buggy commits and partial implementations
- DevOps configurations and non-code artifacts

CodeReality-1T embraces this complexity as a **research laboratory** for:

1. **Robustness Testing**: How do code LLMs perform on noisy, real-world data?
2. **Data Curation Methods**: Developing better filtering and cleaning techniques
3. **License Compliance**: Research into automated license detection and filtering
4. **Bug-Fix Alignment**: Studying commit patterns for before/after code analysis
5. **NL↔Code Tasks**: Natural language to code alignment through issues, commits, and documentation

## Collection Process

### Sources
- Public GitHub repositories
- GitLab public projects
- Open source package registries
- Developer forum code dumps

### Acquisition Pipeline
1. **Repository Harvesting**: Systematic collection from public sources
2. **Metadata Extraction**: Complete git history, issues, documentation
3. **Format Standardization**: Conversion to JSONL with consistent schema
4. **Indexing**: SHA256 checksums and comprehensive cataloging

### Filtering Strategy
**Deliberately Minimal Filtering** to preserve research value:
- ✅ **Kept**: Forks, duplicates, incomplete code, experimental projects
- ✅ **Kept**: Repositories with unknown or missing licenses
- ✅ **Kept**: Multi-language and cross-domain projects
- ❌ **Excluded**: Only explicitly "all rights reserved" repositories

### Quality Assurance
- **100% Coverage**: Complete analysis without sampling
- **Integrity Verification**: SHA256 checksums for all files
- **Comprehensive Indexing**: Full metadata extraction and validation
- **Reproducible Pipeline**: Open source tools only (enry, scancode-toolkit, PyDriller)

## Uses

### Primary Research Applications
1. **Code LLM Robustness**: Testing model performance on noisy, real-world data
2. **Data Curation Research**: Developing automated filtering and cleaning methods
3. **License Detection**: Training and evaluating license classification systems
4. **Bug-Fix Studies**: Before/after commit analysis for automated debugging
5. **Cross-Language Analysis**: Multi-language repository understanding
6. **DevOps Research**: Configuration file analysis and validation

### Specific Task Examples
- **Deduplication**: Identify and remove duplicate code across repositories
- **License Classification**: Automated SPDX license detection and compliance
- **Issue→Code Retrieval**: Generate code solutions from natural language descriptions
- **Commit Message Generation**: Automatic commit message creation from code diffs
- **Build System Analysis**: Configuration file validation and optimization
- **Security Scanning**: Identifying potential vulnerabilities and secrets

## Limitations

### License Coverage
- **0% License Detection Rate**: All repositories marked as "Unknown" in current release
- **Manual Review Required**: Commercial use requires individual license verification
- **Research Use Recommended**: Dataset optimized for academic and research applications

### Data Quality Issues
- **98.1% Unknown Language**: Large portion of repositories with undetected language
- **Deliberately Noisy**: Intentionally includes incomplete, experimental, and duplicate code
- **Exact Duplicates**: 0% exact SHA256 duplicates detected across file-level content
- **Semantic Duplicates**: ~18% estimated semantic duplicates and forks preserved by design (includes repository forks, copy-pasted code, and similar implementations)
- **Intentional Design**: Duplicates are preserved to study real-world code distribution and test deduplication algorithms
- **Security Concerns**: Contains potential API keys, passwords, and tokens (see Security Analysis)

### Representation Bias
- **Language Skew**: Heavy bias toward C/C++, Python, JavaScript ecosystems
- **Geographic Bias**: Primarily English-language repositories and comments
- **Temporal Bias**: Snapshot from specific time period, may not reflect current practices

### Scale Limitations
- **Processing Requirements**: 3.05 TB requires significant storage and computational resources
- **Filtering Needed**: Most use cases will require substantial preprocessing
- **Network Intensive**: Large download size may limit accessibility

## Security Analysis

### Detected Security Patterns
Comprehensive security scan revealed:

| Pattern Type | Occurrences | Risk Level |
|--------------|-------------|------------|
| Password patterns | 1,231,942 | High |
| Token patterns | 353,266 | High |
| Secret patterns | 71,778 | Medium |
| API key patterns | 4,899 | Critical |

### Security Recommendations
⚠️ **WARNING**: This dataset contains potential secrets and should be used for research only
- **No Production Use**: Never deploy code from this dataset without thorough security review
- **Credential Scanning**: Always scan extracted code for hardcoded credentials
- **Isolation Required**: Use in sandboxed environments only
- **Legal Compliance**: Verify licensing before any commercial application

## Ethical Considerations

### Privacy & Consent
- **Public Data Only**: All repositories were publicly available at collection time
- **No Private Information**: No deliberately collected private repositories or data
- **Takedown Policy**: DMCA and removal requests will be honored promptly

### Bias & Fairness
- **Representation Issues**: Dataset reflects existing biases in open source development
- **Language Barriers**: Primarily English-language codebases and documentation
- **Economic Bias**: Overrepresents well-resourced development environments

### Legal Compliance
- **License Uncertainty**: Many repositories lack clear licensing information
- **Commercial Risk**: Use in commercial products requires individual license verification
- **Attribution**: Original repository attribution preserved in metadata
