I Built My First ETL Pipeline as a Complete Beginner. Here’s How.

A beginner provides a step-by-step guide to building a first ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline using Python. The process begins by extracting data on popular repositories from the GitHub API using the requests library. Next, the raw JSON data is transformed into a clean pandas DataFrame, where it is filtered, a new column is added, and the results are sorted. The final step involves loading the cleaned and structured data into a CSV file, completing the simple but functional data pipeline.
