On the Use of GitHub Actions in Software Development Repositories

This replication package contains all the material required to replicate the analyses we made for our paper entitled "On the Use of GitHub Actions in Software Development Repositories" accepted for publication at the 38th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME) 2022. The required dependencies are listed in `requirements.txt` and can be installed (preferably in a virtual environment) using `pip install -r requirements.txt`. The notebooks are expected to be executed with `jupyter lab` (but any `jupyter` environment should do the job). The data (from `data/` folders) are generated by the various notebooks, starting from the raw dataset in the `data-raw` folder. Please refer to the paper and to the README file contained in that folder for more informations.
