Mining software repositories is a useful technique for researchers and practitioners to see what software developers actually do when developing software. Tools like Boa provide users with the ability to easily mine these open-source software repositories at a very large scale, with datasets containing hundreds of thousands of projects. The trade-off is that users must use the provided infrastructure, query language, runtime, and datasets and this might not fit all analysis needs. In this work, we present Boidae: a family of Boa installations controlled and customized by users. Boidae uses automation tools such as Ansible and Docker to facilitate the deployment of a customized Boa installation. In particular, Boidae allows the creation of custom datasets generated from any set of Git repositories, with helper scripts to aid in finding and cloning repositories from GitHub and SourceForge. In this paper, we briefly describe the architecture of Boidae and how researchers can utilize the infrastructure to generate custom datasets. Boidae’s scripts and all infrastructure it builds upon are open-sourced. A video demonstration of Boidae’s installation and extension is available at https://go.unl.edu/boidae.
