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
Assignees / Milestone	Includes user objects and milestone metadata when present
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
string	title, body, state, user.login
int64	id, number, comments, reactions.total_count
bool	locked, user.site_admin, is_pull_request
list[string]	comments_text
list[object]	labels, assignees
float64	Some milestone and dependency metrics

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
