Mining Developer Behavior Across GitHub and StackOverflow
2017
Proceedings of the 29th International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering
Nowadays, software developers are increasingly involved in GitHub and StackOverflow, creating a lot of valuable data in the two communities. ...
This approach links the accounts from two communities using a CART decision tree, leveraging the features from usernames, user behaviors and writing styles. ...
For example, labels of repositories in GitHub are programming languages, but those of Q&As in StackOverflow are technical terms. 3) Association mining. ...

Forge++: The Changing Landscape of FLOSS Development
2014
2014 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
The main contributions of this paper are to describe each of these tools, to identify the data and artifacts available for mining from these tools, and to outline some of the ways researchers can use these ...
There are three newer tools at the center of FLOSS development today: distributed version control based forges (like Github), programmer question-and-answer communities (like Stack Overflow), and pastebin ...
Github itself stores its Gist pastes as repositories, so they can be mined in the same fashion as regular Github repositories.
Pastebin mining. ...
