Vibe Coding with GitHub Copilot (Getting Started with GitHub Copilot)

We recently setup a departmental GitHub account for Hutton ICS, and one of the things we'll use this for is to showcase projects which ICS staff are contributing to - such as Biopython in my case. To start with we have forked https://github.com/biopython/biopython as https://github.com/huttonics/biopython which we'll use as a read-only mirror - but now we want to keep it up to date with commits pushed to the upstream repository.

This module includes a script to collect all the pull requests and issues for a GitHub organization. The resulting data includes date created, date closed, date closed, title, and number of comments. The script outputs both a JSON and CSV file. This script is written with the support of GitHub copilot. To run this, you need to add the organization of interest, your Personal Access Token (from your GitHub account settings) and ensure you have the dependencies (curl and jq).

Ray, Devanbu and Filkov issued a rebuttal of our TOPLAS paper "On the Impact of Programming Languages on Code Quality: A Reproduction Study". Our paper reproduced "A Large-Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in GitHub", which appeared at FSE 2014 and was subsequently republished as a CACM research highlight in 2017. This article is a rebuttal to that rebuttal.

Following the CDK and JChemPaint Primary, Bioclipe moved to Git just after the 2.0.0 release.
