Multi-repo GitHub Issues — example dataset

Short description
This dataset contains GitHub issues collected from multiple large open-source repositories (sampled): huggingface/datasets, pytorch/pytorch, tensorflow/tensorflow. Each row is one GitHub Issue (pull requests excluded). The dataset includes derived fields (time_to_close_days, label_count, body lengths) suitable for analytics and demonstration of dataset publishing workflows.

Files

• data/github_issues_multirepo.csv — CSV table.
• data/github_issues_multirepo.parquet — Parquet file.
• data/github_issues_multirepo.jsonl — JSON Lines.

Schema (columns): repo, issue_id, number, title, user_login, state, created_at, closed_at, time_to_close_days, comments, label_count, labels, has_labels, body_char_count, body_word_count, html_url, comments_url, curator_comment

How data was collected Data were retrieved via the GitHub REST API v3 (https://api.github.com) by paging the issues endpoints for each repository listed above. Collection date: 2025-10-25. Some fields (e.g., sample_comments) may have been omitted to reduce sensitive content.

License, privacy & attribution

• This derived dataset is released under CC-BY-4.0.
• Source data are public GitHub issues; original issue authors retain their original contributions under GitHub's terms. Each record contains html_url linking to the original issue — please attribute as appropriate.
• The dataset includes public usernames. If you will publish models or downstream artifacts, consider pseudonymizing or removing user_login and sample_comments.
• Do not assume personal data minimization: if your use case requires removal of personal data or compliance with local laws (e.g., GDPR), perform appropriate redaction and document it here.

Intended uses and limitations

• For exploratory analysis, project analytics, and demonstration of dataset publishing. Not intended as a comprehensive snapshot of repository history; rate limits and pagination caps may have truncated older issues.

Contact / removal requests If an author requests removal of a specific record, please provide the issue URL and we will remove it from this dataset build. (Provide contact info or link to hub profile.)
