Abstract

This dataset captures the commit activity of a curated set of highly active, agentic software developers on GitHub. For each developer, it provides full commit metadata and daily commit counts spanning the months around the agentic coding explosion. The goal of this dataset is to enable studies of AI-augmented software engineering behavior, agent adoption patterns, repository switching, commit quality, and temporal activity rhythms. The dataset currently covers 7 developers.
