You can view a repository's languages to get a quick overview of the repository. GitHub uses the open source Linguist library to determine file languages for syntax highlighting and repository statistics. Language statistics will update after you push changes to your default branch.
Git was designed as a set of programs written in C and several shell scripts that provide wrappers around those programs. Although most of those scripts have since been rewritten in C for speed and portability, the design remains, and it is easy to chain the components together.
You can also override certain files
$ cat .gitattributes *.rb linguist-language=Java Source
