#GHTorrent

Welcome to the GHTorrent project, an effort to bring Github's data to the hands of the software engineering research community, without taxing Github.

GHTorrent reads GitHub events from the Github Events stream, stores them to a MongoDB database, retrieves the associated data and provides them in MongoDB dump format over Bittorrent.

• See a list of Available Torrents
• Retrieving the data
• Using the data
• Helping expand the dataset

The GHTorrent project is brought to you by the SENSE group at the Athens University of Economics and Business. If you use the dataset for research, please provide a reference to the following work:
