### Dataset Summary

[This dataset was created by collecting GitHub issues and their associated comments from the 🤗 Datasets repository using the GitHub API.
    The dataset serves as the foundation for building a semantic search engine that helps users find answers to their most pressing questions about the library.

    The dataset includes metadata fields such as issue titles, descriptions (`body`), timestamps, labels, user associations, and the full list of comments per issue.
    It can be used to experiment with tasks like text similarity, semantic search, and information retrieval.

    For the tutorial on how this dataset was created, refer to the Hugging Face course:
    https://huggingface.co/learn/llm-course/en/chapter5/5?fw=pt#creating-a-dataset-card]
