Body

GitHub has a BigQuery dataset available here: https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/details/github/github-repos

It includes many datatests:

However, the languages table (bigquery-public-data.github_repos.languages) has not been updated since 2022:

This is a problem for projects that use this data to show trends in programming languages used on GitHub such as:

• Languish: https://tjpalmer.github.io/languish/
• GitHub 2.0: https://madnight.github.io/githut/

Without this data updated, they were unable to update their data for more than a year now.

In this context, my question would be: Was it intentional? Could this interuption be related to the changes made to GitHub Search in 2022-23 as discussed here : Changes to the code search API - GitHub Changelog or the rewritting of some internal tools?
