论文摘要
在Github等协作社会发展平台中，拨出存储库是一种普遍的活动。一个变体的叉子希望将开发与原始存储库分开，并朝着另一个方向发展。在这项初步的探索性研究中，我们分析了在面向区块链的软件中创建变体叉的可能原因。通过在Github收集存储库，我们创建了一个带有存储库及其变体的数据集，从中我们手动分析了86个变体。根据我们研究的变体，创建面向区块链的软件中变体的主要原因是支持不同的区块链平台（65％）。
In collaborative social development platforms such as GitHub, forking a repository is a common activity. A variant fork wants to split the development from the original repository and grow towards a different direction. In this preliminary exploratory research, we analyze the possible reasons for creating a variant fork in blockchain-oriented software. By collecting repositories in GitHub, we created a dataset with repositories and their variants, from which we manually analyzed 86 variants. Based on the variants we studied, the main reason to create a variant in blockchain-oriented software is to support a different blockchain platform (65%).
