Ideally, the project manager should be able to define the language composition in their own projects. Something GitHub should consider IMO.

- moe 12y agoYes, it's pretty annoying that the language detection can't be overridden. About half of the repos that I'm dealing with are mis-detected (usually as CSS or HTML due to included documentation).
- jrochkind1 12y agoI doubt many project managers would bother doing that -- what do they get out of it?
- tokenizerrr 12y agoIf I noticed a repository was classified incorrectly I'd open an issue asking the maintainer to rectify it, if it was possible. They would likely do this simply because someone asked. If not that, then simply for it to appear correctly in the searches. Why open source at all, what do they get out of it?
- semi-extrinsic 12y agoFWIW, bitbucket lets you define the language of your repos.
