Application Domain Of 5,000 Github Repositories

We provide a manual classification of the application domain of 5,000 GitHub repositories (the most popular ones, by number of stars, on January, 2017).<br> <br> We classified each system in one of the following application domains: <strong>Application software:</strong> systems that provide functionalities to end-users, like browsers and text editors (e.g., WordPress/WordPress and adobe/brackets). <strong>System software:</strong> systems that provide services and infrastructure to other systems, like operating systems, middleware, and databases (e.g., torvalds/linux and mongodb/mongo). <strong>Web libraries and frameworks</strong> (e.g., twbs/bootstrap and angular/angular.js). <strong>Non-web libraries and frameworks</strong> (e.g., google/guava and facebook/fresco). <strong>Software tools:</strong> systems that support development tasks, like IDEs, package managers, and compilers (e.g., Homebrew/homebrew and git/git). <strong>Documentation:</strong> repositories with documentation, tutorials, source code examples, etc. (e.g., iluwatar/java-design-patterns).
