## Data ### CommitPack CommitPack is uploaded [here](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/commitpack). To recreate: 1. **BigQuery SQL:** Use BigQuery to select the commit data from the GitHub action data. All SQL commands can be found in `dataset/commitpack/sql`. They are executed in order starting with the first one to to the fifth one. They are separated and executed one-by-one as BigQuery was raising `Resources exceeded` errors during query execution when running all in a single statement. After each SQL query a dataset is created and named as indicated in the filename. E.g. after executing `sql_1_commits_table_base.sql`, you would name the output dataset `commits_table_base`, which is then referenced in the 2nd statement. 2. **Export:** From BigQuery export the dataset after the final SQL statement inside GCP to a bucket as parquet files. 3. **Upload to HF:** Use a GCP compute instance to copy all the parquet files into a Hugging Face dataset and push it. The resulting dataset contains metadata on the commits, [CommitPackMeta](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/commitpackmeta) 4. **Scrape GitHub:** Run the script at `dataset/commitpack/scrape_github.py` to download the files prior and after each git commit from GitHub. It contains some basic filters to remove noise files (relying on the extensions file at `dataset/commitpack/programming_languages.json`) and then uses multi-threading and multi-processing for scraping. It is recommended to run it on a very large instance. 5. **Shard (optional):** Depending on the size of your files, you may want to shard them at this point using the script at `dataset/commitpack/shard.sh` 6. **Opt-out & languages:** Run the script at `dataset/commitpack/licenses_langs.py` to remove repositories from users who opted out of the step (first part with `__main__`, needs to be uncommented) and split the large files from the prior step into files for each programming language (second part with `__main__`, currently uncommented). You will likely have to change some of the path names and uncomment parts as necessary 7. **Shard (optional):** Using the script at `dataset/commitpack/shard.py` you ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/bigcode-project-octopack`](/api/graphcanon/tools/bigcode-project-octopack) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
