How to change repository language in GitHub? [duplicate]

Question

I want to change the repository language to another language that is used in the repository.

Can anyone tell me how to change it?

Answer 1

GitHub uses Linguist library to determine repository statistics. You just have to create a .gitattributes files in your repository and add the following commands:

To ignore all CSS files for examples use the linguist-vendored command:

*.html linguist-vendored

To ignore all files in a CSS folder for examples use this syntax:

css/* linguist-vendored

To force a certain file extension to be recognized as a javascript language for example use the linguist-language command:

*.gs linguist-language=Javascript

For more information check the liguist library documentation.
