GH Archive records the public GitHub timeline into hourly JSON event archives and makes them freely downloadable, plus available as a public BigQuery dataset. This repository hosts the project's website and tooling, not the dataset itself.
Use cases
- download historical github event data for analysis
- query github activity with bigquery
- research open source developer behavior
- build visualizations from github timeline data
- mine github events for trends
- analyze pull request and issue activity over time
When to choose
- you need bulk historical GitHub event data for research or analytics
- you want SQL access to GitHub activity via BigQuery
- you're building visualizations or studies of open source ecosystems
When to avoid
- you need real-time GitHub event streaming rather than hourly archives
- you want private repository data
- you need a ready-made analysis tool rather than raw data
