Non-software uses of GitHub
I’m looking for GitHub repositories that are used for things other than software, especially where users are actively collaborating rather than just putting together static collections. So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online. Does anyone know of any examples of these or other categories? Any pointers much appreciated. Happy to share what we find with anyone interested.

Hi Jim, Jonathan Reeves at Columbia is using Github to create Git-Lit, a repository for the British Library's digital texts. The project relies on collaborative labor for cleaning up texts and aims to create a model for sharing corpora among digital humanities scholars. http://jonreeve.com/2015/09/introducing-git-lit/ https://github.com/Git-Lit/git-lit Cheers, Erin On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 11:23 AM, Jim Herbsleb <jim.herbsleb@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Jim, You may have run across this already but the unitedstates project [1] use GitHub repositories to curate open datasets, such as a dataset about current and historical members of the US Congress [2]. I'd definitely be interested hear what you find if you have time to post about it. //Ed [1] https://theunitedstates.io/ [2] https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators

Hi Jim, I'm Ed, developer and PhD candidate in sociology. In Brazil (my homeland) the telecom lobby started to consider data caps for broadband (landline). A acquaintance started a repo on GitHub listing ISP that were publicly saying they wouldn't adopt any data cap. This repo had massive contributions until we automatize the process so even people without Git/GitHub knowledge could contribute. The repo ends up as aa kind of open catalogue of small companies challenging the monopoly power of the 3 biggest telecoms in Brazi have a huge market share (80% I guess) and were the three companies pushing the data cat strategy. This is the repo <https://github.com/InternetSemLimites/InternetSemLimites> (in pt-BR). It's in the top 5 of Brazilian GitHub projects <https://medium.com/@hoffa/the-top-github-projects-per-country-92c275e19409>. I got involved in the very beginning of this repo and I'm happy to give more info — just drop a line if interested ; ) Cheers, Ed On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 5:33 PM Jim Herbsleb <jim.herbsleb@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Jim, Software Carpentry, an Australian initiative to teach researchers programming, is hosting and collaborating on their lessons on Github: https://github.com/swcarpentry Also, Brenda Moon and me work on a DMRC workshop regarding data security and privacy for researchers using Github, and the slides are hosted there as well: https://github.com/qut-dmrc/encrypt_all_the_things https://qut-dmrc.github.io/encrypt_all_the_things/#/ To create presentations with frameworks such as reveal.js, collaborating on them, and also have them hosted there is a pretty common non-software use of Github I'd say. There is also, for example, the cryptoparty handbook on Github: https://github.com/cryptoparty/handbook And, last but not least, I'm writing my thesis with pandoc, version controlling it on Github, in a private repo so far though ;) Cheers, Felix Felix Victor Münch PhD Candidate @ QUT Digital Media Research Centre Social Media: https://about.me/flxvctr Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=yn1Rz_EAAAAJ Academia.edu: https://qut.academia.edu/FlxVctr ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Felix_Muench ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8808-6790 QUT: http://staff.qut.edu.au/staff/muench/ QUT preprints: https://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/person/M=FCnch,_Felix_Victor.html

Hi Jim et al., A consortium led by Consumer Reports is using GitHub to develop a "Digital Standard" to help guide the future design of consumer software, digital platforms and services, and Internet-connected products (I was part of in the initial development of the Standard, though I'm not involved at this time).

Dear Jim, I think the most prominent "non software" usage of github in the meta-category are: 1. github pages https://pages.github.com/ together with static site generators (such as Jekyll), one generates website, blog and etc... 2. gitbook https://www.gitbook.com/blog/features/github-gitignore 3. Project management https://huboard.com/ 4. Chatting such as gitter Regards, CH On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 8:23 PM, Jim Herbsleb <jim.herbsleb@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Jim, hi all, Thank you very much for this exchange! My contribution is this use of Github for research: http://book.openingscience.org/[1] In the meantime, one of the editors moved on to start http://www.blockchainforscience.com/ and that living document is now on Google https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uhjb4K69l0bSx7UXYUStV_rjuPC7VGo0ERa-7xEs... - I find that change of platform quite interesting.

Fifth International Conference on Digital Data Processing (DDP 2025) University of Bedfordshire. Luton. (Near London) UK. August 18-20, 2025 (www.socio.org.uk/ddp) (IEEE Publication) As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing, data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations, and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is ongoing. There is a great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing models and systems for analysing large datasets. Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management, the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight current open research directions in data analytics that need further attention. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Synthetic data Data synthesis Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning impact on data processing Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data General Chair General Chair Ezendu Ariwa Warwick University, UK Program Chairs Youshan Zhang, Yeshiva University, USA Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Duong Van Hieu, Tien Giang University, Vietnam Program Co-chairs Martin Lopez Nores, University of Vigo, Spain Frankie Wilson, University of Oxford.

I’m looking for GitHub repositories that are used for things other than software, especially where users are actively collaborating rather than just putting together static collections. So far, we have found a few books being written, some musical transcriptions being error-checked, and some policy documents maintained online.
Does anyone know of any examples of these or other categories? Any pointers much appreciated. Happy to share what we find with anyone interested.

Hello, Here are some other uses of Github (but also other free and open source platforms as Gitlab and Framagit) . Collaborative teaching : We are developing programmation with Python courses <https://github.com/HackYourPhd/ateliers-open-geek> with the HackYourPhD organizations (workshops similar to software carpentry mentioned earlier but in french with a special focus on research examples in neurosciences but also social sciences). Often, several mentors of one session are working together to develop the syllabus. Hackathon/ Data sprints and data sciences projects organization : we have used the framagit platform (based on Gitlab which is open source compared to Github) for several events : an hackathon <https://framagit.org/c24b/republique-numerique> organized to analyse the data of a french consultation on the "Digital republic » law then during data sprints/ data sciences projects with students in social sciences. Presentations with Gitpitch : I have also used Gitpitch on Github to create presentations online and work on it in a collaborative way with the co-speakers. Two examples here <https://github.com/Celyagd/ODS> and here <https://github.com/Celyagd/S2_hack> And it is possible to create you own website or a website for and organizations with the GitHub pages. And I would be interested in a summary of your findings. Thanks !
