Wrong language detection in Zelta repo

[Andrej123456789]

Here is a link of repo

GitHub says Inno Setup is "bigger" than C# (which has more and bigger files). Also on repo we can found C++ files

The breakdown of your repo as Linguist sees it:

$ github-linguist Zelta/ --breakdown
55.67%  8895       Inno Setup
44.33%  7082       C#

Inno Setup:
Zelta-Installer.iss   <--- From above we can see this file alone is 8895 bytes vs 7082 for all your C#

C#:
Zelta/Form1.cs
Zelta/Program.cs
Zelta/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs
Zelta/Settings.cs
Zelta/obj/Debug/.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2.AssemblyAttributes.cs

$

As you can see, it has only detected the one very large Inno Setup file and your C# files.

Why? Most of your files, like the C++ files you mentioned, are supplied as part of NuGet packages which are third-party packages which Linguist considered as vendored third-party code and thus ignores (most people don't want third-party code counting towards their repo stats).

If you want these to count, you'll need to implement an override to tell Linguist to not consider these files as vendored third-party code.

The rest of your repo appears to be mostly "data" files because they are either binaries or are not UTF-8 encoded files, or text files that are considered "prose" (eg .txt) or "data" (eg .xml) which Linguist doesn't count towards the repo stats by default either. Once again, you'll need to implement an override if you want them to be counted.

Thank you for answer, but I set C++ files in .gitattributes but it seems don't work.

It wouldn't have any effect as your old override (*.cpp linguist-language=C++) only forces the language identification. It won't override Linguist's marking of the files as vendored. You would need to override this as all of your C++ files are in the vendored packages directory.

Ok
