Abstract

Pull-based development is a widely adopted paradigm for collaboration in distributed software development, attracting eyeballs from both academic and industry. To better study pull-based development model, this paper presents a new dataset containing 96 features collected from 11,230 projects and 3,347,937 pull re- quests. We describe the creation process and explain the features in details. To the best of our knowledge, our dataset is the most comprehensive and largest one toward a complete picture for pull-based development research.
