Code:
from datasets import load_dataset

full dataset (3TB of data)

ds = load_dataset("bigcode/the-stack", split="train")

specific language (e.g. Dockerfiles)

ds = load_dataset("bigcode/the-stack", data_dir="data/dockerfile", split="train")

dataset streaming (will only download the data as needed)

ds = load_dataset("bigcode/the-stack", streaming=True, split="train")
for sample in iter(ds): print(sample["content"])
