Open Source Software Development Challenges: A Systematic Literature Review on GitHub
Git is used as the distributed version control system for many open-source
software projects. One Git-based service, GitHub, is the most common code
hosting and repository service for open-source software projects. For
researchers that study software engineering, the content that is hosted on
these platforms provides much valuable data. There are some alternatives to get
GitHub data such as GitHub Archive, GitHub API or GHTorrent. Among these
options, GHTorrent is the most widely known and used GitHub dataset in the
literature. Although there are some review studies about software engineering
challenges across the GitHub platform, no review of GHTorrent dataset-specific
research is available. In this study, the 172 studies that use GHTorrent as a
data source were categorized within the scope of open source software
development challenges and a systematic literature review was carried out.
Moreover, the pros and cons of the dataset have been indicated and the focused
issues of the literature on and the open challenges have been noted.Comment: This is old version, It include typo errors based on latex, I cant
