Forked projects in GitHub Dataset?

[Eduardo Campos]

I have a question about how the GitHub dataset was built...

Does the "2015 September/GitHub" dataset contains forked projects 

written in Java language? Or the forked projects have been excluded

during the construction of the dataset?

How the aforementioned dataset has been extracted? If this dataset 

contains forked projects, how do I filter only Java projects that are not forked?

Many thanks and best regards,

Hi Eduardo,

The projects in the dataset should all be non-forks.  We filtered all forks, Java or not.

So the only thing you need to filter for is Java projects.  Depending on your definition, you can go with the project metadata indicating a programming_language of “Java” or you can look for files that end in “.java”.

Since we only parse Java source, you could also easily just keep projects with at least one ChangedFile of kind SOURCE_*.

Hope that helps!
