# EditPackFT
EditPackFT is a dataset built for training LLMs on the task of instructional code editing. The mail columns are:
1. `old_contents` the code before the edit
2. `instruction` the instruction to transform the `before` code into the `after` code
3. `new_contents` the code after the edit
4. `content` a pre-formatted training window that can be used to train an LLM with prompts in the format of: `<before><instruction><after>`

This dataset has been filtered from CommitPackFT. For more detail, [see our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.12450), and our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/nuprl/CanItEdit/tree/main/editpackft).
