Solution: Change Linguist Vendor Attribute
Github sometimes marks one repo’s language wrong because of Linguist Library behavior. Here is a quick fix.
- First, create file
.gitattributes
in the root folder of the repository you want to fix. - Write following lines into this file, and stage, commit, push to github.
* linguist-vendored *.cpp linguist-vendored=false *.hpp linguist-vendored=false
After doing this, the Linguist now only takes .cpp
and .hpp
files into consideration for deciding your repo’s language. Change the lines according to which language you want it to recognize.
