# GitHub AI Project Docs Dataset

This dataset contains project documentation and README files extracted from top open-source GitHub repositories. It is designed to support research and evaluation of large language models and frontier models—especially for in-context learning using data that lies outside their original training distribution. 

---

## Dataset Overview

- **Source Repositories:** Documentation files are collected from GitHub repositories that:
  - Use the Apache 2.0 license
  - Have at least 1,000 stars
  - Were created within the last 6 months
- **Content:** Includes various project documentation such as `README.md`, additional markdown files, and related documentation (e.g., recipes, configuration guides).

---

## Key Features

- **Quality & Relevance:** Sourced from popular and actively maintained projects.
- **Diverse Documentation:** Provides a wide range of writing styles and content formats.
- **Evaluation Ready:** Ideal for testing the generalization and in-context learning abilities of modern language models.

### Process Details

1. **Repository Selection:**  
   Repositories are filtered based on:
   - License: Apache 2.0
   - Popularity: 1k+ stars
   - Recency: Created in the last 6 months

2. **Document Extraction:**  
   Each repository is crawled to extract documentation files (e.g., `README.md`), including additional project docs.

3. **Aggregation:**  
   Extracted files are combined into a unified dataset, ready for analysis and model evaluation.
