扣除掉 fork 的程式碼後,研究人員在 GitHub 上還是發現有大量重複的程式碼:「DéjàVu: a map of code duplicates on GitHub」。
This paper analyzes a corpus of 4.5 million non-fork projects hosted on GitHub representing over 482 million files written in Java, C++, Python, and JavaScript. We found that this corpus has a mere 85 million unique files.
用 Java/C++/Python/JavaScript 寫的 4.5M 個專案有 482M 個檔案,但只有 85M 個檔案是不一樣的 XD
想一想其實也是... 現在愈來愈多工具產生程式碼了 XD (i.e. Scaffold)
