Business cases


Some of the business cases that can be implemented using the GitHub data are as follows:

  • Identify the popular programmers in different languages.

  • The online courses' websites can target potential subscribers based on suitable patterns in behavior.

  • Provide recommendations to users on which user to follow as well as which repository to look out for.

  • Identify the best people to target for a new open source project development in Java.

  • Plot the trend on languages; here, the data point will be the number of repositories in a language. In order to get the trend, we need to pull the data on a daily basis to know how many new repositories are created and which language is used to develop them. This will help in understanding the lifecycle of language popularity.

  • Build a regression model to predict the number of watchers a repository would get within a month of launch.
