Session description
In this talk, we present a novel way to use Neo4j to query and visualize open-source collaboration patterns. On GitHub, issues and PRs can be linked to one another, forming a rich graph charting a project's development. Link attributes like the "duplicate" label or timestamps can help us understand more about the relationships between contributions. Yet, when we zoom out to consider subgraphs of linked issues and PRs, interesting patterns begin to emerge. Our findings show instances of common workflows like "competing PRs" and "extended PRs" reoccurring across large open-source projects on GitHub.
