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.
