We prepared a dataset from the GH Archive that contains all the events in all GitHub repositories since 2011 in a structured format. The dataset was uploaded into ClickHouse, where it contains 11.1 billion records. We redistribute it for research purposes and it can be downloaded at this direct link. This dataset can help answer almost any question about GitHub that you can imagine.
