摘要
In this article, we present the social networks emerging from GitHub repository hosting service, which is nowadays the most popular repository for Open Source projects. We analyze two social networks emerging from the service: a network of followers and members together with the owners of the project repositories. We utilize the unique data set obtained by web-scrapping GitHub in February and March, 2016. Our findings prove the existence of power-law-like scale behaviour and the statistically significant correlation between the structures of both networks. This means that the relations of following someone on GitHub repository hosting service which can be seen as a proxy for information flow and influence in the service and the collaborating with them are not independent.
