Determining the Intrinsic Structure of Public Software Development History

Software Heritage mission is to collect, preserve, and share all software that is publicly available in source code form.

Please learn more about our presentation at MSR 2020 :

- Success of Free Open Source Software but also collaborative development platforms (GitHub, GitLab...)
- Version Control Systems have been particularly studied
- Only recently exhaustive studies of all publicly available VCS artifacts have gathered attention and become possible, thanks to platforms like:
* Software Heritage
* World of Code
