Is it possible to exclude files from git language statistics?

Question

Silly question and not on something that is so necessary, but is it possible to exclude files from git language statistics aggregation on top?

I have checked some ex

Answer 1

From the Github Help page My repository is marked as the wrong language:

Linguist excludes certain file names and paths from statistics. Check out the vendor.yml file for a list of these exclusions.

Pull requests with new exclusion patterns are always welcome.

So if your javascsript/css files match a regexp in that Yaml file they shouldn’t be included in the stats. If they don’t, you could add them and create a pull-request.

Answer 2

By default, Linguist treats all of the paths defined in vendor.yml as vendored and therefore doesn't include them in the language statistics for a repository.

Use the linguist-vendored attribute to vendor or un-vendor paths.

$ cat .gitattributes
special-vendored-path/* linguist-vendored
jquery.js linguist-vendored=false
