关于GitHub应用程序的普及:初步说明
On the Popularity of GitHub Applications: A Preliminary Note
摘要:
GitHub是世界上最大的开源软件集合。因此,对软件开发人员和用户来说,比较和跟踪GitHub存储库的受欢迎程度是很重要的。在本文中,我们提出了一个框架来评估GitHub软件的受欢迎程度,使用它们的星数。我们还提出了一套流行的增长模式,它描述了随着时间的推移,一个系统的恒星数量的演变。我们发现,星级往往与其他指标相关,如分叉,以及第三方程序对GitHub软件的有效使用。在整个论文中,我们使用从GitHub提取的真实数据来说明我们的框架的应用。
英文摘要:
GitHub is the world's largest collection of open source software. Therefore, it is important both to software developers and users to compare and track the popularity of GitHub repositories. In this paper, we propose a framework to assess the popularity of GitHub software, using their number of stars. We also propose a set of popularity growth patterns, which describe the evolution of the number of stars of a system over time. We show that stars tend to correlate with other measures, like forks, and with the effective usage of GitHub software by third-party programs. Throughout the paper we illustrate the application of our framework using real data extracted from GitHub.
